Zinedine Zidane has made coaching look like a cake walk following his stunning first year in charge at Real Madrid. And he's now set to be rewarded by being handed a massive new contract.
The Frenchman first took over as Real Madrid's B Team (Real Madrid Castilla) before eventually taking the main position as a result of Rafael Benitez's sacking.
The former Galactico help guide his side to the Champions League as well as the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup and has amassed more trophies than defeats (2).
Not to mention currently enjoying a 38-game unbeaten streak which has them three points clear at the top of La Liga with a game to spare, and advancing to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
