Zinedine Zidane hailed as best coach in the world by club president Florentino Perez. Zinedine Zidane stands on the brink of history as Real
Madrid aim to become the first club to successfully
defend the Champions League next month. And club president Florentino Perez believes the
Frenchman's achievements since taking the reins in
January 2016 make him in a standout in his field. The Frenchman lead Real to their first La Liga title in
five years at the weekend and can make it a double
with victory over Juventus in Cardiff on June 3. The club's president believes the impact made by the
former world player of the year leaves him
unrivalled among his peers. Speaking at Madrid's town hall during the title
celebrations, he said: 'Thanks Zinedine for all you
have given us, and all you keep giving us. 'You were the best player in the world, and now you
are simply the best coach in the world. 'You, your assistants, and this squad have made
history again with exciting football. Madrid scored in
every game of the season, which shows our
philosophy. 'This league title is a symbol of our values, it was
achieved fighting until the last game, and respecting
our opponents, who made it difficult for us. 'This team has given us something we had wished for
a long time.' Real edged out arch-rivals Barcelona by three points
on the final day of the season thanks to a 2-0 win
away at Malaga on Sunday.

Its too early!
