#2 Zinedine Zidane: Total Score = 18 (Experts pick 3, Fans vote 1)
Trending
Real Madrid have won more trophies in 2016 than they have lost matches.
No, seriously. 3 trophies (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Supercup, and FIFA Club World Cup) as against 2 losses suffered way back in the first half of the year. Currently on a 36 match unbeaten run the Real Madrid is on fire.
A lot of people thought him lucky, but the statistics – and the performances – are incredibly hard to argue against. He has got a Win % of 75.47 this year in 53 games (an unbeaten % of an insane 96.22%. He has not shaped the Real Madrid team in his own mould, and instead has adapted to the challenge in front of him.
He played counter-attacking, deep-lying football against Atletico (in the CL final, and the recent derby) and emerged victorious, he got his team to press high in the recent El Clasico and walked away from Camp Nou with a draw.
His remarkable tactical flexibility and absolutely unmatched man-management skills have seen Real Madrid become arguably the best team in the land over the calendar year – the only reason he isn’t No. 1 is because the man who pipped him did something that is the stuff of absolute legend.
