Zidane’s return to football as a manager will definitely come as a good news for many footballing fans. The legendary French footballer has done a lot for the beautiful game while he graced the pitch, and there are a lot of expectations attached to him as
a manager.
The former French footballer rose to fame while playing for his national team. Zidane was the player who helped his side win the FIFA World Cup 98 and even though they were knocked out early in the next edition of the prestigious tournament, the French legend
made a comeback in 2006.
During the FIFA World Cup which took place in 2006, Zidane showed the world that he is one of the best players in the history of football.
The French star almost singlehandedly took his side to the final of the international competition.
The French side were able to beat the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 in that tournament, and the South Americans were favourites to qualify for the final of the competition.
In the final match, Zidane was the favourite to score a goal for his side, and he did score on a penalty which hit the crossbar and found the back of the net.
However, France could not win the tie against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 as the French legend was involved in a brawl with the Italian defender, Materazzi, and gave him a headbutt on his chest.
Zidane saw a red card after that manoeuvre and eventually http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 lost the title.
In that very year Zidane decided to retire from football and is now expected to make a comeback by being the manager of the Real Madrid http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787.
