5 reasons why Zidane shouldn’t be sacked even if he fails to win a trophy this season 

#1 He is freaking Zidane

This is a man that has won everything

Alright, so now onto the most important point. If you just randomly point your finger at an aspiring young footballer and ask, ‘hey, you, who’s your idol?’, that player is most likely to have Zidane in his list. Zizou is not just a manager, he is a legend – an inspiration for the kids that want to grow up and become elite-level footballers.

And it is precisely because of this that Zidane won what he did in his first-half season at the club. Back then, he wasn’t as tactically aware like he started to become in the second half of the 2016-17 season. And despite that, he won the Champions League in 2016 – and that was all because the players not only loved him, but also admired and revered him.

If reverence could make the players play like that and win for him, then imagine what could happen when Zidane gradually improves his tactical understanding. He has already shown shades of it last season – and we could yet see more of it by the end of this season.

In short, you don’t disrespect Zinedine Zidane – you simply don’t.
