David Beckham: 'Zinedine Zidane is best man for Real Madrid job'

By , Editor
Former Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham believes that Zinedine Zidane is the "best man" to take over from Rafael Benitez at the Bernabeu.

Former Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham has said that Zinedine Zidane is the "best man" the club could have chosen to take over from Rafael Benitez.

Benitez was sacked just seven months after landing the role at the Bernabeu having failed to win over the club's fans during his time in charge, with Florentino Perez today confirming Zidane as the Spaniard's successor.

It is the 44-year-old's first major job in management, but Beckham believes that his former teammate has all of the attributes to succeed.

Does it get any better than this ?? A man that has been the best at a game we all love , taking over of a club that myself and many more people love... Someone with drive , passion and also doesn't accept failure on any level.. Taking over from a manager that has huge experience and respect in the game , but taking on a position that he will relish ... THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB 🇪🇸 @realmadrid
