Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao wants to make his loan move to Monaco permanent and help them challenge for silverware.
The left-back joined the Ligue 1 outfit on a one-year loan deal ahead of the 2015-16 campaign and has become an important part of the first team after overcoming a hamstring problem.
"I came here to help Monaco achieve their goals and clinch second place in the table," Coentrao said at a news conference.
"I am very happy at Monaco and I am sure the club will be among the title candidates in the years to come. So I cannot see any reasons why I would not want to stay here.
"I played very little last season, so I knew I would struggle a bit early on. But I am getting better and better physically and I want to show my true face in the next four months."
"Zidane really knows the club," he added.
"He's the coach Real Madrid needed."
