Currently without a club, Zinedine Zidane had the heyday of Real Madrid as a coach. The former number 10 of the Blues has won every trophy possible with Casa Blanca. Which makes him a true legend of the club and one of the best coaches in history.

During his tenure with the Spanish club, Zinedine Zidane offered his leaders a former Ligue 1 nugget who is now causing a sensation in the English championship.

According to information from the Spanish media Defensa CentralZZ would have offered former Stade Rennais player Jérémy Doku to Real Madrid in 2020.

Despite views on the young Belgian, the deal between the two teams could not be achieved because the Breton club seemed very greedy in demanding a transfer fee which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Spaniards.

Finally, Jérémy Doku found himself in the Manchester City squad a few years later where he had an encouraging start to the season. Saturday, on the pitch at West Ham, he found the net. His first goal in the Skyblues jersey.
