Gérard Houllier, former coach of the France team, explains that a coach of the caliber of Zidane “must leave a legacy for the one that will follow”.
What ‘ Is a big European club expects from a top-level coach? In a high-level European club, there is a habit, a tradition of winning trophies. For most of the results, it is mainly trophies that demand in these clubs because the results can be good, but not enough to win something. That’s the first point. The second is expected of a coach that leaves a trace, a legacy. A team that is already in place, it’s a bit of a Formula 1, but it is the driver that will guide improvements to have; the choice of some players, the development of some other … It must leave a legacy for those who will follow because, when in a great club, usually we do not remain indefinitely. Its style and its management, a coach must leave an imprint on the club. Finally the third mission will be to advance the team and players. We need the players, individually and collectively, progressing through his management, his coaching style, exercises that will implement his vision of the game.
Is it possible to advance players like Cristiano Ronaldo for example, which already appear on top? Exactly, it’s very interesting whether Zinedine Zidane ever coach. I think he can still bring something to the players, by small details – because it’s all about details very high level -. To further enrich their registry Game This is the general mission, but the objective for given him the huge armada of players he has, it will be better to play them together. This is where its role will be important. From what we see from the outside, he will deal with it the problem of balance of the team, because in a team there must be harmony between offensive and defensive aspects. “
What place has the management of ego in this coaching job? The coach has to understand that in his group, everyone contributes to the success, but that any team needs a balance. For Zidane is his personality and courage that will make his speech work. There will be brave but that’s part of the required qualities. In a team, there are different types of ego. He will understand what psychologically is important for players There are different types of great players on a field. perfectionists, anxiety, the winners … He knows them well, having been assistant to Carlo Ancelotti, he has this advantage over all the world. When you are in a big team, like when I arrived in Lyon, finish second it would have been a failure. And if unfortunately the Real ends 5 or 6, inevitably there will be disappointment. It is expected that the team under his leadership: 1) has the results, 2) has its own style like all coaches have, 3) makes progress and improves. A fundamental key in all it will give confidence. Because the most important, regardless of the level at which you operate, is to be a trusted manufacturer.
