MARCA, Jan. 5, 2015
“The soluZZion,” reads the front page of Madrid-based sports daily MARCA Tuesday, a day after Real Madrid announced that former French soccer star Zinedine Zidane would replace the unpopular Rafael Benítez as team coach.
Zidane, 43, is new to the coaching game. A 1998 World Cup winner with France and a 2002 Champions League winner with Real Madrid, the former attacking midfielder, nicknamed “Zizou,” had most recently been in charge of Madrid’s second team.
