5 top football managers who are without jobs at the moment

#5 Zinedine Zidane

His decision to walk away from the biggest job in club football shocked everyone

Seldom do former players achieve major success at managerial level as quickly as Zinedine Zidane has. In just two and a half years as a full time manager of Real Madrid, the former Los Blancos midfield legend had established himself as one of the best managers in the world.

By the time he quit as the Real Madrid manager, he had won 3 consecutive UEFA Champions League titles with the club, becoming the only coach in history to do so.

Also, he helped them to a LaLiga triumph in 2017, and 5 other major trophies.

His decision to walk away from the biggest job in club football shocked everyone, but he admitted back then that the time was just right for the move.

ESPN quoted him saying:

"The time is right,"

"It's not a decision I've taken lightly. I thought about it carefully, and it's the right decision, even though I imagine many may not agree. After three years, Real Madrid needs a change, another way of working, another idea, if we are to continue winning. I feel it's going to be difficult to continue winning. And because I'm a winner, I'm going."

His future destination remains one of the biggest talking points in football across the globe, with fans and pundits alike waiting for his next move.

With multiple reports making the rounds in the media linking him with the likes of Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Juventus, it remains to be seen where Zizou will take his magic next.
