#3 The Unenviable task of succeeding Zidane
How do you do better than a Manager who has won 9 trophies in just two and half years at the club at the rate of a trophy every 16.5 games with a hat-trick of Champions League with an astonishing 70% win rate in all competitions.
The answer is it's nigh impossible and it will be an uphill task for the next manager to even match Zidane's achievements at Madrid over the last two and a half years.
Zidane performed so well at Madrid that he thought even he could not emulate him next season, citing it as one of the reasons why he stepped down when the time was right.
It is already a high-pressure job with the margin for error being very low and Zidane's achievements over the last few years have racketed the pressure up a notch making the job even more difficult than it already was.
