Didier Deschamps v Zinedine Zidane




Didier Deschamps

Didier Deschamps       Trumps
Coaching 6
Despite all his achievements, there is still a genuine question mark over his coaching.
Trophies 9
France won the World Cup, but it is still hard to deny that it was in spite of his management, rather than because of it.
Tactics 6
His tactics are stale and tired. There are a few times that he has had to rely on having better players to see his team through.
Motivating 7
His motivation is decent, the players rarely down tools under his watchful eye and very rarely do they fail to try for him.
Style of Play 5
Very limited style, far too safe for my liking and not expansive and attacking enough to be enjoyable for its own sake.

Coaching 6
It is hard to see any improvement in players that have been coached by him. Even the way they played showed little sign of any real plan other than to hope Cristiano Ronaldo or one of the other superstars pulled something out of the bag.
Trophies 9
The Champions League in a row, but he was second to Barca in La Liga.
Tactics 6
His tactical plan was based on what Rafael Benitez wanted to do but with less organisation.
Motivating 6
The fact they were so poor in the league tells you that he struggled to motivate the players on a regular basis.
Style of Play 6
They were overly defensive and lacking in any kind of substantially enjoyable play.
