Zidane will win Madrid titles, but he needs patience - Roberto Carlos

According to his former teammate, the French coach will enjoy great success as Real Madrid coach but must be granted time by the fans.

Roberto Carlos believes Zinedine Zidane will bring major titles to Real Madrid, but believes the fans will need to be patient.

The pair were teammates at the Santiago Bernabeu between 2001 at 2006 during the 'Galacticos' era, winning the Champions League in 2002 and La Liga the following year.

Zidane has won his first two matches at the helm since replacing Rafael Benitez on Jan. 4, with his side scoring 10 goals in the process, but the club remains four points adrift of table-topping Atletico Madrid.
