This thing will help Zinedine Zidane to successes at Real Madrid – Former France manager
Former France manager Raymond Domenech says Real Madrid super-talented squad will help Zinedine Zidane to successes at Real Madrid, and has tipped to manage Les Bleus in the future.
Raymond Domenech was the head coach of the France at the World Cup 2006, when Zidane was sent off for headbutting Italy defender Marco Materazzi in the Final, Speaking to Le Monde, he said:

Zidane is a myth,” he said. “A myth capable of setting off emotions in people and not only positive ones.
“He’s not a smooth star, he’s not a nice guy. He’s capable of anything and that’s what makes him a human god.”
Forgiven?” Domenech asked. “But nobody needed to forgive him because we didn’t even accuse him.
“When we returned to Paris after the final in Berlin we were received at the Elysee by the president and the Legion of Honor. The headbutting incident is part of the myth… a guy who headbutts someone who’s insulted him, there’s nothing more human.

“People only saw one player in this story but no one ever thought what [Lillian] Thuram, [Thierry] Henry, [Patrick] Vieira, [Florent] Malouda or [Willy] Sagnol might have felt. He made a bad move and the others lost the World Cup. Like every myth, he benefitted from a form of immunity.
“We’ll see how he reacts as a manager if one day a guy blows a fuse and screws up all his plans.”
“From now on, Zidane will be judged on his results. If he’s a champion, his legend will reinforce itself.
But if that’s not the case, it will be another story. Mourinho was a god too and we see what’s happened to him. Sport is ruthless.”There’s no one more legitimate than him to replace Didier Deschamps,” Domenech said. “And the day that Didier stops, he will take over from him. But for that to happen, he had to go to Real Madrid.”
