The Manager

Zinedine Zidane – C
It’s difficult to really grade a manager based on the team performances especially when things really aren’t the way he imagined them to be when he returned. The Covid-19 Pandemic changed a lot for the team and their planning but Zidane was able to do what he could to fight for the titles with the squad he has. However, his decision-making at times have been questionable while his main problem arguably continues to be lack of trust in some players and a lot of trust in others – both undeserved at times. Is he still the right man for the job? That’s hard to say (my answer personally would be a yes) but he deserves to see it through and prove himself once again. It will be interesting to see how things are by the time the season ends.
