Zinedine Zidane has dismissed talk of him replacing Rafael Benitez as Real Madrid head coach following the humiliating 4-0 defeat at home to Barcelona.
Real were crushed by their title rivals at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday to heap more pressure on the under-fire Benitez.
Despite impressive form to the start of his tenure at the club, supporters are unhappy with Benitez's defensive approach, with back-to-back league defeats for the first time in 14 months further weakening his position.
However, Zidane - coach of Real's reserve team - denied he was in line to replace the Spaniard at the helm after his side drew 0-0 against Barakaldo.
"I am the coach of the Castilla [reserves]. Benitez is the first-team coach and things are fine as well," he said.
"I'm happy with what we've done today with the Castilla against a difficult rival.
"I stayed to train the Castilla. Last year I went away with the feeling that something was missing for me. I am stubborn and when the objective is not fulfilled it is necessary to do it."
"I have a lot to learn but a trainer is never [fully] prepared," Zidane added.
"I am doing this, like a player, little by little. I do no rush anything. The present is Castilla and we are going to continue like that."
