Since hanging up his boots in 2006, former France international Zinedine Zidane has always been welcoming the opportunity to manage a big club. Currently in charge of Real Madrid’s second team, Castilla who are currently sixth in the Segunda B division in Spain.
During a show for Canal+, Zidane was asked to pick a team with players that he would want to manage, and not surprisingly, the midfield maestro named seven players in the starting line-up.
Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Daniel Alves are two of the starters named by Zidane who don’t or have never played for Real Madrid alongside Manchester City’s Yaya Toure and Paris Saint-Germain’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Among the seven selected substitutes, highly rated French youngsters Rafael Varane of Real Madrid and Paul Pogba of Juventus made a cut to the star-studded bench.
Zidane’s Dream XI to manage:
Starting Line-up: Iker Casillas - Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Daniel Alves - Yaya Toure, Luka Modric - Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Karim Benzema.
Substitutes: Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm, Rafael Varane, Paul Pogba, Andres Iniesta, Franck Ribery, Sergio Aguero.
