Zidane has become one of the best coaches in history after winning 11 titles at Real Madrid. The Frenchman has had good teachers who have influenced him in his work, and although he does not coach any club now, he will continue to show his level at his next assignment. We are going to comment on the 5 best coaches that the Frenchman had.
Lemerre is not a well-known coach in the club world, but he is at the national team level. As the French coach, the coach inherited the 1998 French champion generation and had the difficult task of maintaining the title track. He won the Eurocup in 2000 and made Zidane the cornerstone of the champion team. Years later he went to Tunisia with whom he managed to win the African Cup of Nations and qualify for the World Cup.
Aimé Jacquet was the coach who gave France its first World Cup, in 1998. The French coach trusted a generation of footballers who were highly questioned, and knew how to optimize players like Zidane, Henry or Vieira to the maximum.
Zizou had little to do with Carlo Ancelotti at Juventus, two seasons in which Vecchia Signora won an Intertoto Cup. The Italian coach was still starting his coaching career, but still left great glimpses of his qualities as a coach and made Zidane shine in Serie A.
The historic Juventus coach was the one who made Zidane the elite player we all know. He gave him the key to the team’s attack and Zizou rewarded him with goals, assists and a lot of football. Together they would win two Serie A, and curiously it was the Italian coach with the national team, who snatched his second World Cup from Zidane.
The Spanish coach did not have the recognition he deserved at Real Madrid, but in his time at the white club he managed to elevate Zidane to the category of galactic, and together they won the Champions League that the Frenchman was missing.
