Didier Deschamps to Zinedine Zidane?

Zinedine Zidane has impressed many critics with his tactical acumen at Madrid. His first spell with the club was a successful one where Madrid won the LaLiga title and three Champions Leagues in a row from 2016-2018. After leaving the club at the end of the 2018 season, Zidane returned to the Spanish capital in March 2019 to replace Santiago Solari. After a rocky start to his second spell, Zidane has gotten Real Madrid performing once again. Their recent draw against Barcelona at Camp Nou was a prime example of their progress where they dominated the game and could have easily won. Real Madrid are currently second in LaLiga. They are tied on points with Barcelona. They have also qualified to the last 16 stage of the Champions League.
