Guti's playing style, said Enzo, suits him very well. The coach wants to play offensive football and have more possession of the ball.
"I am here to contribute and give everything. I am a team player who likes to involve my teammates in the game," explained Enzo.
"I consider myself a technical player and I hope to contribute a lot to Almeria."
Enzo Zidane played at this level last season with Rayo Majadahonda. Now he is back in the second division of the Spanish League and will help Almeria fight for promotion to LaLiga Santander.
Meanwhile, Guti, started his managerial career since being appointed as Almeria coach on November 5 last year. Previously, Guti coached Real Madrid's U-18 and U-19 youth teams and then became an assistant coach for Besiktas.
“I want the team to win. That's the goal of every coach. I want to make the players better on the pitch. This is the dream of any coach, "said Guti in a special interview with LaLiga Santander some time ago.
“Ultimately, we all want the team to be a reflection of how we used to play on the field as players. Obviously, you're doing your current job from the sidelines, because you can't be on the pitch, but I think that's a good way for your style to keep showing up. "
