Nothing compared to the two Southampton misses.
Zidane has no tactical brains. He's a sideline clapping motivating type coach. Probably one of the biggest fraud coaches of all time.
The Sergi Roberto of coaches. Got all the trophies. But he has no idea how he got them.
Time will prove me right once again, so don't @ me, just laugh at me for now and then apologise once you're on my side by 2030.
As a player, he was great, not as great as everyone says, but great.

Zidane has done almost nothing wrong in his managerial career, but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the Liverpool job until I've seen him at a different club
Madrid is just seems like an environment completely separate to a normal club

By NiceGuy Go To PostMadrid is just seems like an environment completely separate to a normal clubI agree with you but we reach a different conclusion. I feel like if you can succeed at Madrid you can succeed pretty much anywhere. Hard to find a more toxic football environment to work in.
By bud Go To Postwe’re all bald in the womb.I came out with a full head of hair m8.
I also can't imagine a group of players who could better manage the team themselves as long as they're not actively working against the manager. Looks to me like having the respect of the players is/was about 90% of the job. Improving them and tactical nuance was an afterthought at best, and counterproductive at worst given the egos at play.

The criticism towards coaches who win titles with teams "too big to fail" is a bit daft I think. Sure, it probably is easier coaching 2011 Barcelona to a title rather than Arsenal 2011, but lets not pretend it is like FM where you only have to pick the right formation. The squad dynamic, man management and not to mention external pressure is something that rarely is mentioned in these cases.
That being said, there is no doubt that being tactically adept is more and more relevant these days. Solskjær was a good example on how a coach simply cant just rely on motivation any longer (in the long run)

By Perfect Blue Go To PostHard to find a more toxic football environment to work in.Are you really suggesting that teams like PSG and Barca, or United to a lesser extent are any less toxic? Not to mention the teams filled with racists across Europes B tier teams. Hell at one point you were owned by a Russian oligarch who benefited from millions of poor people, stole their wealth and cleared billions of dirty cash with Chelsea- well recognizing Madrid's far past troubled history.
Get your head out of your ass.
Zidane is a good coach - and more tactically flexible than people give him credit for - but it’s hard to judge him entirely when it’s such a bizarre club to work at. It’s just different than anywhere else. I’d love to see him in the PL.

Where else has that happened?

By Perfect Blue Go To PostMadrid got Conte sacked from the job before he even got hired lol get real. Where else has that happened?As much as I would have liked to see the Conte experiment at Madrid, he would have failed hard, he's too rigid, zero flexibility.
Raul, Alonso, Guti and Arbeloa are future managers at Madrid.

By Frustrated_me Go To PostAs much as I would have liked to see the Conte experiment at Madrid, he would have failed hard, he's too rigid, zero flexibility.“Flexible” in Madrid euphemisms during that period meant catering to the whims of diva vipers like Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe etc. Magnus Carlsen wasn’t even allowed to say he likes Isco over Ronaldo lol.
Raul, Alonso, Guti and Arbeloa are future managers at Madrid.
Obviously Chelsea and other clubs have their issues etc but hard to find a club more embroiled in player power and politics than Madrid and to a lesser extent, Barcelona. Perhaps it’s different now, I don’t know, but there’s a reason a profile of manager like Zidane and Carlo were able to have success while other managers were not. You’ve even listed more future Yes Men yourself there.
By Newton, The Inventor of Gravity Go To Postwait whyCastilla and younger leagues are/were or will be managed by them. Then they get promoted to A team if they standout. Raul looks promising, so did Guti. Alonso TBD.

By Ashwinho Go To PostZidane should be outside of top 10,(top 20 even), forget about GOAT nonsense spewed by people. He had two mediocre club career, with a stacked Juve & Real side. A handful of good games in Euro 2000, one world class game vs Brazil in 2006, scoring two goals in 98 final & an all time CL final goal inflates his player status far more than it should be. All of it because he was extremely graceful on the field.
This is a beautiful post.
I really have never understood the Zidane love to the extent that he is in the greatest of all time conversation.
Was never the best player for Juve.
Didn’t show up for two CL finals for them and the semi final against United in 99.
Not to mentioned that he was completely outclassed by Totti in the 00 Euro final. (Funny how when Messi was failing to win a World Cup final before it was lol Higuain, but when Totti puts in one of the most magnificent final displays ever but his strikers kept missing the chances it is lol Totti)
But everyone remembers those two goals in the 98 world cup final and the volley in the Madrid CL win.
Magnificent player but never the beat in the world.
By Eternity Go To PostPoor list.
Ibra, Henry, Totti absent.
Xavi and Iniesta way too low, Zidane way too high….throw it in the traesh
Another great poster.
At times I just prefer to listen to the GOATs talk.
Maradona: Totti is, and will be, the best player I ever saw.
Pele: Totti was the best player in the world in his prime.
By Newton, The Inventor of Gravity Go To Posttotti has bene embarrassed by his wife
this needs to be addressed
To be fair, Totti is embarrassing himself. Been driving around in the new VW van in Qatar.

but he was being dishonored and embarrassed and this is not something the goat's wife would do
what sort of malakia does totti suffer in order for something like this to happen
a sickness of sorts
a sickness of sorts
Ashwinho and shanks know a lot about football
Zidane had about... 8 seasons worse than the worst season you can name from the other GOATs.
Respect
Also shanks those Maradona/Pele quotes about totti, don't become the United bros with Scholes lol

Zizu was an incredible player and while he might not have won all the titles, he surely was one of the greatest ever. One of my favorite footballers of all time actually.

Zidane basically the poster child of how our eyes deceive us. Seeing people describe him reminds me of the scene in Moneyball with the scouts evaluating players.
Pele: “Zidane is the master. Over the past ten years, there's been no one like him, he has been the best player in the world."

Sorry man, but sometimes game recognises game.
I do think Scholes is up there with the likes of Zidane, Xavi, and Iniesta as one of the best midfielders of the last thirty years.
Says it all when I think only Pirlo was clearly better than him.

Pretty sure that was before the Totti quote. I will forgive him because he came to his senses.
