Another major trophy in Zidane’s young coaching career

CARDIFF, Wales (AP) Not a bad start for Zinedine Zidane.

Only 18 months into his first head coaching job, the France great is lifting his fifth trophy with Real Madrid.

Zidane managed the Spanish club to a second successive Champions League crown with a commanding 4-1 win over Juventus on Saturday, adding to triumphs in the Spanish league, the Club World Cup, and the European Super Cup.

He became the first coach to win back-to-back titles in the Champions League era.

”If you had told me that I would have won all of this as a coach, I wouldn’t have believed it,” Zidane said.
