#1. Zinedine Zidane
The champion player turned out to be a champion manager too when Real Madrid decided to give their club legend a chance to solve their managerial crisis. Zidane is among the finest of players the world has ever seen and he has the potential to leave the same legacy in managing as he did as a player. The former World Cup winning player won three consecutive Champions League titles while managing Real Madrid in his three campaigns with the Galacticos.

He managed Real Madrid for 149 games in which he won 104 and lost only 16. The Frenchman was Real Madrid's manager from 4th January 2016 to 31 May 2018. Currently, he is heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford to replace Jose Mourinho, according to ESPN.
