Falconer, I value your opinion regarding football because I feel you are a real fan of the game. I just wanna ask what your opinion of Zidane be as a manager. Is he really as good as how the media and the people portray him to be? Did he bring new tactics and ideas in the modern game and thereby creating something new? How good is he really compared to Pep Guardiola?
To me, my opinion of him is mixed. I say we wait for a few years before we label him as great or not. His resume will say a lot about his coaching by that time.
Well, he is a great man imo. He could risen the team after the messy Rafael Benitez did, and in the end of last season, he succeeded to bring UCL cup for Real Madrid, even Real Madrid could finish in 2nd position with 1 point gap below Barcelona. The best thing is, Real Madrid won El Clasico in Camp Nou. Zidane is good as player, coach assistant, and coach. Maybe he is not as great as Pep for now, but I'm sure he could do more in next few seasons.
