Chelsea hero Claude Makelele admits he's had contact with Olympique Marseille.

Makelele is currently the technical director of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

He told Carre: "I spoke to some people, but I kept it secret because, if it is true that there were dialogues, there was never anything concrete.

"Zizou and I together (at Marseille) would make sparks because he is very competitive and he knows that I am too. Of course, the players would certainly work in good conditions and with a smile, but with the desire to progress, improve and destroy everything.

"This is clear. Then, if one day we will work together only the future will tell us. He is certainly a friend of mine."
