What It’s Like Managing Real Madrid & Why Zidane is Successful
A look behind-the-scenes of one of the most successful and biggest clubs in the world: Real Madrid. Past managers (Carlo Ancelotti) and presidents (Ramon Calderon) speak of what it takes to manage Real Madrid. Zidane’s trophies speak for themselves as he has been a rare case at Madrid: a manager that has lasted for multiple seasons.

Zidane looks younger with a shaved head at 40 than he did with hair and a bald spot at 25.
They always do, imagine how Pep would look like if he didn't shave his head
@@ifandafydd7432 pep shaves his head?.I thought he was naturally bald
@@ahmedrahim2500 watch closely he has hairs.
He shaves his head
@@jituscalc3215 why tho?.Bit weird isn't it?
@@ahmedrahim2500 Because having no hair can make a man look younger than one that has a receding hairline/bald patch. As Zidane himself proves.
Madrid didn't criticize Ancelotti, the players for the most part enjoyed having him there and the fans enjoyed his playing style, as Madridista I will always be grateful for him bringing us La Decima
and a por la 14
Just like when he was a player, Zidane makes football very simple
me in life: "you can't win them all, it's the intention that counts!"
me in football: *peace was never an option*
Hala Madrid ! Zidane doesn’t get enough credit. He turned the same team, that Benitez floundered with, into a squad that won 3 consecutive UCL titles. During Zidane’s first stint, he had no major superstar signings, in fact Real Madrid lost good players to other teams. He was such an amazing player, he commands respect. I couldn’t imagine any player directly challenging Zidane, because he could open up a can of whup ass on them. In 2020, I like how this team is shaping up with some fantastic young players really stepping up. Perez, as President has produced a lot of wins and has set a level of excellence and high expectations.
Not to mention how many times Madrid ass saved by the referees i
@@kkpw12 You Barca fans are still complaining about the refs. It gets sad when you're that salty, especially when your own board keeps selling your best players. Let me remind you that it was Madrid trailing Barca before Barca lost the league with seven games left. Instead of complaining about the refs, why don't you put some of that responsibility on that terrible board of yours, and tell the president to stop selling off your stars and youth? I'm only saying that as a fan of la Liga, if Messi is gone next year and no one is there to carry the team, la Liga would be so boring to watch.
@@kkpw12 Madrid fans can say Barça won because they were better. A Barça fan can't say the same no matter how clean Madrid plays
@@kkpw12 at the start of using VAR . Barca fans saying Madrid won't win anything because there is VAR . Now that MADRID are at the top of la liga. Suddenly you change your words and telling Perez bought the referees. Just shut the fook up and admit that without VAR barca had a big advantage from the referees in la liga in the past 10 years. Yes they were the better team in la liga but also with the help of referees in alot of matches.

Shout out to Sergio Ramos for still being the best defender in the world every season despite the shenanigans
Zidane is in a class if his own. Its impossible for both players and Presidents not to have respect for him. He was the yardstick for playing excellence. You just need to go back to 2006 when Zidane came out of international retirement to guide France to the world cup finals. The French players talked of the rumour of his return and when he turned up at clairfontaine , the players went on record talking of the feeling that God himself had returned to guide the team. There is probably no player in the history of the game who consistently took the responsibility to provide solutions for his team. Think back even to his les blues debut. ,2-0 down to the Czech team. He came on as sub for debut and scored the 2 goals to bring parity. This in my view is the background to why he can manage real Madrid so easily. And why he commands huge respect. He is unique as a player and now coach. Imv.
He retired after euro 2004
He ritired after matarazzi son of a mama mia
Bastard matrazzi
U described him well.. Agree with ur view

Zidane has strong personality and reputation, that's the key. As a player, when Makelele was sold and Del Bosque was sacked by Perez, team leader and captain that time Fernando Hierro was released, because he didn't approve the moves. Madrid's golden boy and the next captain Raul who seemingly had the best reputation among fans didn't speak a word against Perez. But Zidane said exactly what he thought about the moves and it was not what Perez would like. Still, he was untouchable and stayed long enough to retire as a Real Madrid player and was brought back as a manager(twice).
True- he famously said why add another paint layer to lambo when u sold the engine
William Roshi another layer gold paint on a Bentley when you sold the engine.
That one move by Pérez cost us 12 years without a CL title. Hard to forget.

I have been a real Madrid fan all My adult life, and your analysis is spot on. Great video
Tremendous and very-well researched video Adrian.👏🏽
As an avid La Liga fan who dwells every night around many Spanish sources, this video is as good as it will get for non-Spanish speakers.👍🏽✌🏽💙❤️
Z.Z is one of his kind, no one close from him as player or as coach ..

Thanks for the amazing content! It's very appreciative and even more now that football is on hiatus
Only started watching you videos recently, and I love them. You say what are you gonna talk about in each video, than really explain everything and point out the mayor stuff. Great work!
LOVE YOUR CONTENT, BUDDY!
I love your channel Adrian, keep up the good work!
Glad I came across this channel
love your videos bro
Great vid ... Keep it up
Amazing content 🔝🔝
Coaching or playing in real madrid is hard cause anything except for 1 st place is considered a failure
This man should have 1 million subscribers
Please man, make more videos or longer videos...i was watching this video, hoping it doesnt end...please
The Premier League was the only football league I watched then. Then Beckham moved to Real Madrid and it piqued my interest to watch him (playing with the other galacticos Brazilian Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Raul etc) perform in La Liga. I became an instant fan of La Liga and Real Madrid since even with the up and downs of the club. But with Zidane at the helm it gets even better and I hope we get to enjoy the ride for as long as we can as nothing last forever be it success or failure, happiness or sadness! But the joy of watching your favourite club and your idol(s) will always be cherished....
I'd love a video about how to become a manger or a head coach and what it takes
We all think:how can we cope with out football
Adrian:lets see how it is to be at reals helm
Love the content!!
Not only did Fergie know what to say and when to say it, he knew who to say it to
Shoe to beckham
I’d like to make a request :player profiles Adrian from Rabona Tv
Can you do more videos in the “Roots of rivalry” series?
It is amazing the amount of lies passed on as "someone says" whatever.
Just to name one, "Some say Florentino Perez has an iron grip on the media". This is blatantly false as long as you read the newspapers.
Madrid (city) has two sports newspapers, Marca and AS. For years, AS has been on a campaign against Perez and, as retaliation, Real Madrid players do not give any interview to that newspaper.
At the end of last season, Perez called out the director of Marca for lying on Bale's salary. Although Marca has a better relation with Real, for sure is critical and not submissive at all.
every real madrid fans know
He's won laliga again for us #halamadrid🤩🤩🤩
There are only two managers who have any pull on Perez... Mourinho and Zidane.
I wonder if Raul will ever be given a shot at the first team post Zidane. I feel like if Perez keeps this strategy up the line of succession would be: Zidane -> Raul/Guti -> Sergio Ramos (post 2025)
What about Xabi Alonso
Zidane is not often not credited for his incredible achievements by playing man-management card as his only prowess because the fact that's not enough to get team winning trophies, Zidane was a tactician on the pitch when he was playing he was managing the whole team and he made everyone looks better amd now he's doing that as a manager. When Real 4-3-3 struggled because because the BBC werent performing as usual he omitted the wingers played isoc upfront the 3 midfielders to got Ronaldo and Benz as a 9 and falso 9 to transform the tactics mid season to 4-3-1-2 real won the the CL that season even they weren't playing so great and gave isco a life. I think only great tactician can do that and there are many other examples of Zidane tactics influence of the team like the 4-4-2 of this year that brought stability in defence and midfield
he was also the one campaigning to bring back Casemiro, he knew Ancelotti balanced midfield trio was broken when Xabi left for Bayern, and Di Maria, the engine of said midfield trio left for Manchester. He knew even though Toni Kroos have comparable passing skill, he was not as good as Xabi defensively, to be honest, no player plays like Xabi. His solution, bring in Casemiro for defensive duty, replacing Di Maria's energy and Xabi defensive coverage and let Kroos dictate the play.
@@MrWillypanda88 and he is repeating it again with giving faith to Vede Valverde and implemging him into th midfield trio sometimes in the expense of Modric to bring more agressivity to the play and security to casimero himself since the new trend in midfield is having a very strong, dynamic and both balanced defensively and offensively types of players. In games where we played with casi, Kroos and Valverde real madrid became more solid defensively and more aggressive in transition all of that because of Zidane
At 4:00 I have to disagree. Zidane genius comes from playing simple football soo smartly and having a clear vision. Zidane as a player was like this, he wasn’t the most skilled, fastest nor the most clinical finisher but his mastery of simple football made him the genius he was on the pitch
Correction.. Zidane's skills set was out of this world. Infact that was his biggest strength
Zidane is the best footballer I've ever seen. His skill was out of this world. Ahmed or whatever ur name is, I'm not sure you watched Zidane when he played...
@@ahmedislam5722 oh yeah just to let u know I'm referring to the "Ahmed" above you, not you. Lol
@@fakephoenixprince I doubt if he saw Zidane play. The guy was a magician with the ball and yes, he is the best to ever grace a football pitch IMO
@@ahmedislam5722 Same here! Best footballer I've ever seen!!!!

First to say that I am second to not say that I am first.
Also Adrian you should make a video of you playing football.
Subbed
Mes que un club 🤩
Zidane is a legend he understands what takes be successful and he had Ronaldo and team full guys able of that was key for is success let see what is gonna doind because of the aging of team he gonna need new players with mentality of winning because is real Madrid mentality
Pls make more Madrid videos
To me, Zidane looks like Agent 47 from the Hitman series, especially when wears that iconic suit.
Is this just me?
Hey man didnt know you were on watch mojo
He just eased into the plug
Zidane and Gattuso are going to be the next greats. They are both World Cup winners, Champion's League, Domestic cup, Zidane did play in both Italy and Spain and Gattuso is not as famous as far as goal scoring and playmaking but Gattuso has just started so to speak but what he did at Napoli after the Ancelotti incident should not be overlooked...man I miss the football...
this comment age like milk
Adrian, Florentino did not sign Cristiano, the previous president Calderon had him already tied down, thats why some believe that he always resented CR7 in a way, because the arguably best player to feature for Madrid had been bought by another president.
Perez was President when Ronaldo was signed so ultimately it was his signing although I'm sure that the previous president had done a lot of work negotiating with Man Utd to set up the deal in the weeks prior.
10:37 lol.
Zizou snitching wow
You know who's a good tactician? Like reaaaaally good? Endless tweaks and touches of genius inside the match? Valverde. There I said it. I hope he goes to Italy where they appreciate that side of the game more.
He was too tactical for Barça
Valverde is an amazing manager. I think it was a mistake for him to go to a side like Barcelona, I thinki he would shine much more in a smaller, mid-tier team where there's no drama and just football.
@@LaughterCigar I honestly think he can revive Milan. The guy is tactically astute.
Valverde did magic at Barcelona. That team got results with a players that at this point in their career are average.
Keep scrolling
😄
At Madrid, you don’t need tactical genius because you probably already have one of the best squads if not the best squad in the world. You just need one thing - bond these players together and perform consistently. Zizou is extremely good at it - making players buy into his ideas and perform on the pitch. Being one of the top 10 best players in football history definitely helps that too. Being a Madridista for almost 25 years, I have seen too many coaches and players come and go. And to be fair, Mourinho did a decent job revamping the squad and especially the spirit of the squad - he arrived with one thing in mind - to beat Barca and he succeeded. And he brought Madrid back to Champions League dominance (Real was famously not able to advance past quarter final stage of the CL for years). I feel bad for Rafa - he is a Madridista through and through - played in the youth teams and started his coaching at Real youth teams too. He cried in the press conference when he was announced as the new manager. Unfortunately CR7 didn’t like him - especially since the old United vs Liverpool days. He could not get the band together to play.
Nah you're just guessing just like other people.
Nothing special here
@@norpriest521 no he's correct. If you look at how madrid plays under Zidane it's not very tactical like pep's barca but simple football. He just knows how to bring out the best in every player and play them in their preferred positions. Positioning of casemiro is like playing with 12 men. Also he was the one who transformed Ronaldo's position as an all in out striker.
Parez and zidane has a father son like relationship.
Make a video about why teams like Atletico which plays pragmatic football is very hard to beat.
Teams like atletico chelsea porto inter and all park the bus teams have a very short life span once they achieve what they want(trophies) they fall apart because the mental condition required to continuously to park the bus is immense and resisting the strain of getting hammered is great
These teams shouldn't be supported because football is about entertainment parking the bus nearly all matches isnt entertaining
More attacking teams have won the world cup and ucl than defensive teams
Ask c.ronaldo how he did?
Because they are not easy to beat!
Good to see you're okay Adrian😂
Hadn't seen yr notifications in a while
Can't be worse than managing kids in lockdown these days!!!
Hahaha
cruyff, beckenbauer & zidane are true winners of football, they bossed football as a player & a coach
absolute legends
are there more insider accounts of Madrid's dressing room under Zidane? Lowkey it's still unbelievable to me how he's managed to keep it seemingly peaceful from the outside. I remember Lopetegui or Solari couldn't keep it for long
Bale is knocking
@@kingwata1 bale is a nobody in the real dressing room.sad but its true.he jasno friend there.the rest is rather balanced.
Lopetegui and Solari just came into the club at the worst possible time and didnt get to make any signings or changes to a squad that was clearly at the end of an era. Imo they clearly didnt carry the same aura and respect as Zidane but weren't bad coaches.
Francis Cobby Bale is NO ONE in RMs dressing room. He doesn’t even talks fluently Spanish after 6 years on the team, that speaks volumes of how much he interacts with his teammates.
Like the Article stated "Real Madrid are a class in their own" because in the eyes of the Club, the institution, the president, the players and the fans Real madrid is the biggest club in world football (no insult to any other team) even if they had a bad season that's will always be the narrative ND they get their Power from that and from the fact they dominated football in Spain and Europe since the 50's and that's also the reason why it's every footballer player or manager to play or manage real. and believe me if Messi wasn't there for barca those 15 years Real would have dominated on bigger scale maybe talking 7 or 8 CLs that give reason why clubs in Europe want real to fail badly opposite to barca,
None of those managers (Pep,Klopp,Simeone) would have been as successful as Zizou at Real Madrid its the biggest club in the world. Real cares about winning only and he has delivered continuously.
I started getting into Soccer late in life because I worked a very odd schedule and the only thing on TV for my off days was Soccer. I decided that I need to pick a league (England) and find a team to follow through thick and thin (Tottenham) This was 2013, and I was pretty enamored of Gareth Bale and his play.
We all know what happened, he landed at Real Madrid. But in the run up to that, I remember watching something about the attitude the Madrid fans had: That the best players HAVE TO play at Madrid, like it was an obligation. The sense that all other teams are inferior, that it was inconceivable for Madrid to lose out on getting whomever they wanted. And if you said a bad word about the club or any of their players, they would just go after you. I just hate the attitude. It's like an Alabama fan on roids or something.
Rob Hartsock like it or not it is true that most big names want to play for Real if given the opportunity and in and off the pitch no team compares to Real, so that attitude kind of makes sense if you support a team like that.
Del Bosque wasn't sacked IIRC, he couldn't stand for the club to sell key players (Hierro and Makalele) and buying additional attacking players like Beckham as a marketing decision, and introducing the Zidanes & Pavones program that rendered the team's defense and later midfields useless.
he was sacked for losen 4-1 with mallorca and other stupid games
Zidane is fucking legendary. He can sit, top, at any fucking Mangerial Round table. We need to give him his due. People have tried and failed woefully, yet this man won 3 in a row. Man management, composure, silence, respect, joy to watch, believe, he brings calm.
That's fucking...... Arrrrrgh.
PS: Madrid players without a manager would fail. Stop pretending. Think of the fact that players like Bale, James, Isco, etc are on the bench. Without a coach, they'll play, and fail.
Here after real won the la liga. Hala Madrid!!
34th La Liga title
When Madrid sacked Carlo for Rafa I was shocked and disgusted.. I was vindicated when Rafa bombed out... But we were super lucky that then it gave the opportunity for Zidane so I guess it all worked out.
I want to see him manage Arsenal current team
Why he would manage club like Arsenal?
He has a reputation.

Don Florentino Perez is the man.

hey hi... next time don't joke about Zizou! ;)
A point to note, perez didn't sign cristiano ronaldo. Ramon Calderon did.
Well, maybe win is an obligation for him.., we just try to change the negative dinamic of the team and people enjoying again.., if the team wins, even better!!!
The team plays good again, has reached 2 tittles this seasson and it’s still alive in champions league.., and it’s basically by the coach that has implemented other mentality.., 💗.
Sign gravneberch!
Great Video, if he plays Mendy most matches and benches Benzema he'll do very well next season
Benching the best scorer of the team ? Why ?
Thomson have u seen his form
Zidane can manage Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG and Juventus. That's only where his skill sets as a manager seems to fit. He can not manage a club where he needs to collide with Board to build a team much stronger than the direct opponents. Neither, will he heir a quality team elsewhere, bar current Liverpool and Manchester City. However in premier league, the competition is much more intense.
Youre spot on
Pep:great coach average manager good man manager
Zidane:similar to pep only manages big clubs average coach good manager great man manager
Klopp:great coach great manager great man manager the complete manager hes the reincarnation of sir alex and shankly and can take a mid table team(bvb and liverpool 8th 15/16) and transforming them to arguably the best team in Europe
nobody cares about hypothesis. he's been doing the fantastic job ever since he came to club as a manager.
@@T-Rex_7 which one?
@@1997malek zidane has done a fantastic job at Real Madrid. He doesn't need to prove anything. You need both a world class coach and players in order to win major trophies. That's the reason why Real Madrid won 3 UCL a row because they had both of them

Hala Madrid
Zidane is the best for madrid 😎🔥
Perez didn't sign C Ronaldo
Hopefully this happened with Lampard and Abramovich
It wont happend
Good to know
He’s done a lot of good this season, but he’s getting sacked if madrid don’t win a trophy. They’re running out of elite managers to hire so they’re resorting to managers from their youth teams, raul is up next.
He’s winning La Liga. It’s Zidane bro, come on!
Let him go to other team and let's see how good he is, the Spanish FA and the refries are doing nothing but winning matches for Zidan and R Madrid, saying the team and Zidan is while not.
Perez is one of the best presidents ever. Ask Barcelona.
Am I the only one who loves and hates Perez at the same time?
Him and Zidane are like a perfect pairing for scouting out and signing talents, and also knowing when to let players go. Perez is a brilliant businessman and Zidane has a brilliant eye for talent, especially French talent.
In my eyes to be a great manager you need to be able to build a squad. What Zidane has done is brilliant but for me the real test comes when some of the best players grow old and it's time for replacements. His signings so far have been terrible and definitely a weak point of his
Mendy as been great, not his fault Hazard came in that condition, Rodrygo is still 18 but he has 8 goals and 2 assists in 15 games, Jovic I don't know about and Miltoa is benched bc of Ramos's and Varane's great form
He chose Fede Valverde to stay and told Perez to let Ceballos and Llorente go when all three were unproven and there were too many mids on the books, and he made the right choice by a long shot. He also played a major part in signing Ferland Mendy who was arguably the best major signing from last summer's window. Militão and Brahím Diaz were signed under Zidane and look like they will be future stars. Your assessment that he is terrible with transfers is just wrong. The reality is that the is the first season under Zidane where the club has actually needed to make transfers, and the ones he has made are largely looking good, and you often can't make the assesment of whether transfer is good within 1 season so its ridiculius to say that he is terrible at it.
Only ex star player understand star player
Zidane showed them respect.
That's all.
real madrid is team of player not mangers
First
It helps a lot when you have the referee on your side
Stfu
He wins but the games aren't that entertaining under him.😓
At 7:55 no he was brought in to ruin özil's career as the player with the most assist.
That’s madness Jose made Özil , Carlo sold him in 6 months
There was nothing to ruin, Ozil was already a joke big game flop player, I still remember him missing countless chances against Dortmund in the Bernabeu,.
Ozil was always a luxury player. If you're losing 1-0 and he's on the pitch you're essentially playing with 10 men instead of 11
the reason he's success because he never meet barca's pep
Lol
Reza Aditya he has already won bigger things as manager in 4 years than Pep in 13, Pep’s Barça Included in the equation hahaha.
I just hope Florentino perez resigned or sacked one day from Real Madrid
Papa Flo is literally one of the few big club presidents who cares about the club and knows how to run one
Dude you should look over the transfers Perez has made over his tenure, imo they are super underrated and were crucial to Real Madrid's success both on the pitch and in terms of finances.
wasi gupito budiarto it’s clear you are a RM hater hahaha. Perez is the biggest and best president in Real Madrid’s history alongside with Santiago Bernabéu. And looking the way it looks, he will end up being the best ever in all football. The amount of young talent Real Madrid has right now in the team, how he has making profit of player’s transfers in the last 5 years instead of thowing money like its trash, and having ready the Mbappé transfer to Madrid for 2021, the future looks brighter than ever in RM.
I can tell you this, literally every football club at this planet wish they had a president like Perez. Some people hate him solely because of some "rumors", and regardless if some of those rumors were correct or not, he's without a doubt the number 1 responsible man for R.Madrid's revival. He cares for his club and it's prestige more than any other president/owner out there and is willing to make the impossible just for the club to succeed.
Bald supremacy
