5 players Zinedine Zidane can sign as Real Madrid manager
The legendary Frenchman recently took charge of Real MadridAt one point in time, Zinedine Zidane was the best player in the world. He could see things on the pitch that nobody could and perform feats of artistry with the ball that not many could even think of. As a player, it could be said that he left nothing to be desired—except the yearning to watch him play once again.As a player, he knew what to do and when to do it. However, sitting on the manager’s throne and looking after that aspect of the game is a completely different thing altogether.A manager’s role is not only to set the tactics, but also to make sure all the players are content and match fit. There is also another area where the manager has to pay special attention: transfers.In a club like Real Madrid, where money isn’t a problem but the president’s intervention is, signing players according to the manager’s will doesn’t always happen. However, considering Zidane’s influence in the club, he might just get more freedom with signings than the previous managers.So, keeping everything in mind, here are 5 signings we could see the legendary French midfielder make as the manager of Real Madrid...
#1 Paul Pogba
Zidane is a long-time admirer of supremely talented French players—and there isn’t another French player more talented than Paul Pogba.
The Juventus star has been repeatedly linked with Barcelona over the past year and it seemed as though the Blaugrana would eventually snap him up before other numerous clubs that are after him. However, with the legendary French midfielder at helm for Real Madrid now, things could change.
There is no doubt that Zidane is a big fan of Pogba. Indeed, there were a few rumours of Zidane convincing Perez to sign Pogba, but nothing more surfaced on that front. Now, however, since he is the manager, the pursuit could be stronger given that Real Madrid do need an explosive midfielder to dismantle tough teams and Pogba could be their man.
And Pogba could end up with the archrivals of the club he is being touted to join.
