Zinedine Zidane warns coaches: “If you’re not there for the player, you won’t last.” The former Real Madrid coach revealed his method and success.
Zinedine Zidane provided a very clear vision of the coaching profession. For the former Real Madrid coach, it all starts from a simple and non-negotiable principle: the player is at the center of everything, whether in a club or national team.

For Zidane, tactics, group management, or the pressure of the highest level come after the essential: understanding his players, protecting them, and giving them confidence. Without this human relationship, it is impossible to endure over time, let alone at the highest level.
A simple yet powerful reminder at a time when the coaching position has never been more exposed. Some have paid dearly for it, like a certain Xabi Alonso.
