It has been said Zinédine Zidane has somehow written a story similar to that of Vicente Del Bosque. Youth team coach, assistant and winner of the Champions League as a substitute coach before settling permanently on the bench of the Merengues and winning a new cup with big ears. He is the only coach with Del Bosque to lead Real Madrid without having managed a team at the highest level.
Assistant to Ancelotti before coaching Castilla, he replaced Rafael Benitez at the head of the first team mid-season 2015-16. AS Roma, Wolfsburg and Manchester City before an all-Spanish final against Atletico Madrid.
At San Siro, the Merengues lead after a quarter of an hour thanks to a goal from Sergio Ramos but are joined in the 79th following an achievement by Yannick Carrasco. The meeting is tense and is played on penalties. None missed on the Real side, a miss from Juanfran for Atlético and Cristiano Ronaldo propels his shot on goal into the back of the net to offer Real de Zidane the Champions League.
The rest is a real fairy tale, Zidane and his Real won the next two Champions Leagues (2017 and 2018) to offer a historic hat-trick to Zizou.
