5) Because he is the Zinedine Zidane
And this is the ultimate reason why he won’t be sacked even if he ends up without a trophy this season. His name alone gives players the motivation to play well and outsiders a slight hint of concern. His reputation is such that players of other teams would come in running at the first call from the legend.
The likes of Raphael Varane and many other Real Madrid players joined the club because of his presence. The youth have also benefitted greatly from his stewardship as Lucas Vazquez, Jese and even Borja Mayoral have been given chances under him.
Overall, he is the best coach Real Madrid could have. His tactical nous might not be at the level of other great managers, but he knows how to motivate the players and develop the youngsters. In fact, he remains the only coach in the world who can nurture Real’s youth academy products straight from the youth teams.
Don’t you dare sack him, Mr. Perez!
