Zinedine Zidane, a former Real Madrid star who won the Champions League three times as a coach, is set to lead France in their upcoming Nations League match against Turkey. Zidane is one of the most successful coaches in European football history, having won the Champions League three times with Real Madrid. He is among a select group of five managers to have won the competition three or more times, placing him just behind Carlo Ancelotti, who has won it four times. Zidane is also the only coach to win the Champions League three times in a row, a feat that highlights his unique place in the sport. Zidane first took charge of Real Madrid in 2016, just five days after the club's third Champions League victory. He stepped down shortly after, citing the need for change at the club. However, he returned in March 2018 after the brief and unsuccessful tenures of Julen Lopetegui and Santi Solari. During his second spell, Zidane led Real Madrid to another La Liga title, continuing his legacy as one of the most successful coaches in the club's history. During his first tenure at Real Madrid, Zidane's team set several records, including scoring in 73 consecutive games, winning 16 La Liga matches in a row, and achieving 13 successive away victories. However, his team also lost eight of their first 100 games under his management, which has led to some debate over whether the success was due to his coaching or the exceptional talent of the players. This period was marked by extraordinary dominance, but the factors behind it remain a topic of discussion among football analysts. Now leading the French national team, Zidane has introduced several changes, including bringing in new players and implementing a policy that bans press coverage of the team's arrival at their training base in Clairefontaine. This unusual step reflects his desire to maintain focus and privacy for the squad as they prepare for upcoming matches, including the Nations League fixture against Turkey.
