#1 Two seasons : Two Champions League titles
Do we really need more proof?
It's hard enough coming in as manager of a club that has literally won it all, on multiple occasions at that. Real Madrid have no shortage of silverware but the one they crave the most is undoubtedly the Champions League.
After assisting Carlo Ancelotti in winning Madrid's La Decima, the Frenchman wasted no time in etching his name deep into footballing history.
Faced with the almost impossible task of elevating a club higher than the stratospheric levels it already was in, Zidane aimed for the stars. He went after the only record still standing in the history of the competition.
No team had been able to retain their European crown.
Enter the maestro.
Not only did he manage to win the title in his first season in-charge but he raised the bar by adding a second in the following season. What more can you ask for!?
Zidane has always managed to get his team to raise their level of performances on big nights. This stat is an indicator.
The turn around against PSG at home to take control of the tie is stuff of legends. Zidane has brushed aside any queries regarding his tactical capabilities time and again by successfully altering the course of a match, and thereby, that of history.
We have little doubt that the Frenchman is the best that Madrid can do at the moment, if not ever.
