Zinedine Zidane’s former international team mate is not convinced with his credentials to manage Real Madrid?
Former Inter, Paris Saint-Germain and France midfielder Youri Djorkaeff has backed Zidane to become a good manager, but doubts he has ability to manage Real Madrid.
He is the man for the job, but is he the man for Real Madrid? I’m not sure,” Djorkaeff said.
“It’s a very difficult role. You only have to look at the past three coaches: Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez. How much time does the average Real boss have in the job? Two years, maybe two and a half if you’re lucky?

“The expectations at the club are very high. It’s not easy for him. But he did work with the reserves and the young team in previous years, then as Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant, so he does know the place well.”
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill is disappointed that his time will not facing Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale in the upcoming international friendlies against Wales.

“We know that when we go to France we’re going to play against some very good teams and teams with some exceptional individual players which Gareth Bale is – Aaron Ramsey comes into that category too,” the 46-year-old said
“It would have been good for our preparations to have to deal with that but equally the fact they are not playing sets us a different challenge. It’s been difficult to give the players as much meaningful information as possible because of their absence.
When you look at Wales over the qualifying campaign, you see how influential Gareth Bale was in terms of his number of goals and assists. Finding footage of Wales without Gareth Bale is quite difficult. We think we’ve given the best information we can.
“It would be great if he had have been able to play. Chris [Coleman] is like me, he probably knows the vast majority of his squad that are going to go to the tournament, I’m sure the players that come in will want to stake their claim for an opportunity in the summer as well.”
