5 Managers who went out on a high like Zidane

France v Brazil - International Friendly
Zidane has left big boots to fill at Real Madrid

#2 Jupp Heynckes (Bayern Munich) - 2013

Borussia Dortmund v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Final
Heynckes won the treble in his final season

Heynckes began his third stint at Bayern in 2011, and it would prove to be his arguably most successful one in the German capital.

In the 2011-12 season, his side finished runners-up in all the three competitions. Borussia Dortmund has the better of them in the domestic battle and they lost to Chelsea in the Champions League final.

However, the following season they were unstoppable. Bayern won the Bundesliga, smashing numerous records in the process. They also tasted redemption in the Champions League, beating Dortmund in the final. A 7-0 mauling of Barcelona in the semi-finals was a highlight of their season.

In Heynckes' last match, Bayern defeated VfB Stuttgart to win the DFB-Pokal Cup. Win a treble and leave the club at their peak. What a way to go out.
