    One of the most impressive records you will ever see especially when it include the World Cup. He needs to be studied as his body of work is near impossible to replicate. Unless folks like Messi and Ronaldo can win a World Cup they will always be rated less than Zidane. He is the best overall player/coach that ever lived.
