Zidane a better coach than player, says former team-mate Tacchinardi

Latest News RSS feed Zidane a better coach than player, says former team-mate Tacchinardi Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is a "phenomenon" who is better as a coach than he ever was as a player, according to his former Juventus team-mate Alessio Tacchinardi. Zidane enjoyed a seamless transition to coaching after being promoted from Real Madrid's youth side in January 2016, replacing the dismissed Rafael Benitez and guiding the club to Champions League success the same season. He then presided over another Champions League-winning campaign the following year, making Madrid the first club to retain their crown, while they also added a LaLiga title. Things have been a little more difficult for them this season and they sit third in the league, 13 points adrift of rivals Barcelona, with Zidane – who won the Ballon d'Or as a player – under pressure as a result.

Lenglet applauds Messi leadership on and off the pitch

Latest News RSS feed Lenglet applauds Messi leadership on and off the pitch Lionel Messi is a great captain because he leads by example on the pitch and inspires off the field with words of wisdom, according to Barcelona team-mate Clement Lenglet. Messi became captain following the departure of Andres Iniesta to Japanese club Vissel Kobe. But after three successive LaLiga matches without a win, some have criticised Barca for having a lack of leadership on the pitch, particularly in the 1-1 draw at home to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday when Messi started on the bench. His introduction in the second half lifted Barca and he ultimately set Munir El Haddadi up for a late equaliser, but before Messi entered the pitch, Ernesto Valverde's men looked alarmingly devoid of ideas. Wednesday's Champions League trip to Tottenham is the start of a tricky run of fixtures, which will also see Barca face Valencia, Sevilla, Real Madrid, Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Inter twice before ...
