We will tell you the reason Zinedine Zidane is an absolute genius as Real Madrid’s manager and why he is the best in the world. 

Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise, Zinedine Zidane’s run at Real Madrid is probably the best we’ll ever see from any manager in history. The man has everything to become the best ever, even more impressive than Ferguson or Guardiola. His critics keep talking about his natural-born fortune, one they describe he picked up since he was a child. But that hypothesis is nothing more than an utter disrespect to all the work ‘Zizou’ has put on over the years.

We are in the presence of one of the smartest football personalities you will ever find. Just to put things in perspective: Zidane has gone through a number of obstacles this season alone that would discourage any other manager in the world. But not him, his love for Real Madrid has done more for the game than we will ever know. We keep thinking that the sacking rumors from the start of the season were absolute madness and he is proving us right once again. 

Zidane’s road to today’s success. 

Forget about the three consecutive Champions League titles. Put those two La Liga trophies in the back of your head. For ‘Zizou’, there is only the current season and what he can do with the players he’s got. Even though the squad already suffered over 51 injuries this season. Despite having a number of players leave because they didn’t feel good enough to play at Real Madrid at the half of the season. Zidane always kept prevailing and today he got his reward.

He brought players such as Vinicius or Asensio back from obscurity and played with a made-up defense due to Ramos and Varane’s absences. Granted, Los Blancos played against the worst Liverpool side of the decade but that team still has some signs of the one that won the Champions League and the Premier League back-to-back. For all those reasons, sacking the best manager in the world at the end of the season would be a terrible mistake. He is simply a genius.
