It’s the reality and it makes him a very good coach and a great coach. “, confides the former player of the PSG in his show on RMC.

Because Zidane, some will try to reduce his success to the fact that it is Real Madrid, the biggest club in the world, which would be easier for him to win as many titles in a club he knew. No, that is wrong. (…) Frankly, he’s a monster. (…) He is one of the benchmarks in terms of coaching today, even if he no longer has a club, that’s the reality. Like Didier, we are lucky that they are French and that they are up there. And that is a reference. We cannot reduce the work and the success of one compared to the other. »
