3. Zinedine Zidane
Whilst he hasn’t had the same longevity as some of his peers, Zidane has nonetheless done a fantastic job as a club manager. Things didn’t start out too great, as he could only manage a 45% win percentage as Real Madrid Castilla manager.
That said, the board definitely saw something in him and gave him a shot to manage the big club. He hasn’t disappointed either, winning 70% of his matches in a 150-game sample size.

His most impressive accomplishment is undoubtedly his success in the Champions League, registering titles in each of his first 3 seasons in charge. Madrid have also been more competitive in the league under Zidane, winning La Liga in 2016-17. Back in the fold for a second time at Madrid, Zidane is likely the man to turn this side around.
