The Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has been named the French coach of 2017 for leading the club to a Liga and Champions League double, though he may have ended the year badly.
In an article published on Tuesday in France Football magazine, which gives the award, Zidane said“I want to show that I can also be a good coach in tough circumstances,”.
Real seems to be experiencing a bad run. They ended 2017 losing 3goals-nil at home to the Catalans in the El-clasico. Now they are fourth in La Liga, 16 points behind leaders Barcelona.
On Sunday, they were held to a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo.
“Today, yes, the danger is there, but I’m not going to change. I am aware that I have in front of me great players who listen to me. Playing football, I know how to do that. So things will sort themselves out in the end,” Zidane narrated.
Also, Zidane added “Some people may think that everything is always easy for me, that I do everything from instinct, but that’s not true! Whether it is as a player or as a coach, I’ve always worked,”.
“I’m not protected by what I achieved as a player for this club. Zinedine Zidane is no longer a Real player. That Zidane does not exist any more. Now it is the coach Zinedine Zidane who must create a career,” he concluded.
Zidane is expected to continue his defence of Champions League trophy against Paris Saint-German which is coached by the Spaniard, Unai Emery’s during the first knockout round on February 14 and March 6.
