5 reasons why Zinedine Zidane is Real Madrid’s best manager in the modern era

#2 The respect of everyone

FBL-ESP-LIGA-REAL MADRID — Perez looked devastated

Zinedine Zidane is one of the few managers that leaves the club with the respect of all the players. Carlo Ancelotti and Vicente Del Bosque were the others whose departure shocked many players – but not Florentino Perez.

Where Zidane stands out – and Ancelotti and Del Bosque couldn’t – is to earn the undying respect and support of Florentino Perez. When Zidane was announcing his resignation in a press conference, Perez, who was seated beside him, looked absolutely broken.

Never has anyone ever seen Florentino Perez look as dejected as he was during the press conference. He has been at the club many a year but, had always been undisturbed during a situation like these – because, after all, he was the one walking out on someone.

In short, Florentino Perez got Florentino Perez’d and when that happens, it just goes to show what a revered figure Zidane is at the Bernabeu.
