Club Managers have one of the toughest jobs in the world, as they give their all and rarely receive something in return. However, sometimes, a manager creates a team so successful that the records are simply unbelievable. Former Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, is one such manager.

Quite possibly one of the most successful managers in the game, Zidane has won it all in his relatively short time managing Real Madrid. He managed Madrid for almost five years during his two stints at the club and is currently looking for his next team.

Several teams have been mentioned in the running for Zidane’s signature, with clubs like Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United routinely being linked to the French World Cup winner. In fact, Zidane has also been linked with the French national team’s managerial position.

I don’t know, it’s not up to me to decide. Zidane is a great coach, that’s for sure. Also, he is French. That’s a question for the director or the president,” Pochettino said.

The 49-year-old has won the Spanish Super Cup twice, along with winning the UEFA Supercup and the FIFA Club World Cup two times too.
