    Zinedine Zidane has transitioned from being one of the world's best players to becoming one of the most decorated managers in world football.

    Zinedine Zidane is widely thought to be one of the best football players of all-time. His magical ability with the ball mixed with his vision and execution helped him become one of the most successful players in world soccer.

    As a player and a manager with Real Madrid, Zidane has won four Champions League trophies and three La Liga titles. He is also a four-time winner of the UEFA Super Cup, while picking up 10 domestic trophies with Los Blancos and Juventus.
    He was named FIFA World Player of the Year on three occasions and won the Ballon d'Or in 1998. In a 2004 UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll, Zidane was voted the best European soccer player from the last 50 years.

    Zidane won the 1998 FIFA World Cup with France, before being named Player of the Tournament as his country won UEFA Euro 2000.

    He won the same individual award at the 2006 World Cup, despite losing in the final and being shown an infamous red card for a headbutt on Marco Materazzi.
