The appointment of Zinedine Zidane comes at the right time for Real Madrid, Zidane's former team-mate Francisco Pavon says.
Pavon and Zidane played together in the Galacticos side who swept to Champions League glory in 2002.
Speaking to 4G Radio, Pavon said: "Zidane is the ideal piece and has come at the right time."
He added that Zidane "was a magnificent player and an exemplary partner. He has always been a great guy."
Pavon was referred to by club president Florentino Perez in his infamous "Zidanes y Pavones" comment about buying stars and developing young talent.
"I was not bothered by that term," said Pavon.
"Always have a model, either way, and that model was pretty good."
