Zidane wins 'Le Buteur' coach of the year award

The Real Madrid manager has added another accolade to his trophy cabinet as he was voted as the best football coach for the year 2016 by Algerian communications group, Le Buteur.

Over 100 sports Journalists from 26 counties participated in the voting. This is the second edition of the award.

Zidane was appointed as Real Madrid manager in January 2016, replacing sacked Rafa Benitez. He won the Champions League in his debut season, while Real Madrid finished runners up, just one point behind Barcelona, in La Liga. He's also led the club to the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup titles this season.

Zidane is of Algerian descent, though of French nationality.  Real Madrid currently lead the La Liga and are getting ready to face Napoli in the second round of the Champions League.
