Zidane is perhaps the most loved and respected man at Real Madrid due to his contributions to the club at both the playing and managerial level. Having replaced Rafa Benitez as the head coach of the club in 2016 during a difficult period when Madrid was struggling, Zidane not only helped the club to stabilise but also went on to win the club's 11th UCL title that year.

Next season he achieved the double as Madrid went on to win both the La Liga and their second consecutive UCL title. In the 2017/18 season, he achieved the impossible as he and Madrid won the Champions League title for the third year in a row! Shortly after the win, Zidane announced that would leave Madrid after two and a half seasons in charge and with nine trophies to his name: 3 Champions Leagues, 2 Club World Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 1 La Liga title and 1 Spanish Super Cup.

He returned just half a season later when Madrid was having one of their worst seasons in history. So it looks like that Madrid and Zidane will continue their love story and would rack up a few more titles!
