#5 Once the best player in the world, Zizou made an immediate mark as a manager
Just because you used to be a great player does not mean that you will necessarily become a good manager. It’s a feat only few have managed to achieve so far like Johan Cruyff, Carlo Ancelotti et al. Zinedine Zidane, the best midfielder in the world from his time and one of the best ever, surely made a brilliant start to his managerial career.
After assisting Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid and then working as the manager of Real Madrid Castilla, Zidane took over Real Madrid midway through the last season after the club sacked Rafael Benitez. It was a tough time for the club but Zidane took all the way to European glory which was indeed a remarkable start to his managerial career.
This season, his Real Madrid side are leading the La Liga table and are also doing really well in the Champions League. We have to wait and see what future holds for the French gaffer.
