Luis Figo believes that Zinedine Zidane has been the best manager in the world since taking over at Real Madrid in January.
A former Madrid team-mate of Zidane's, Figo has heaped praise upon the technician and trusts that he can bring more success to the Bernabeu.
"He has performed better than anyone else since he has been appointed," said the 43-year-old former Portugal winger.
"When you think about it is what he has achieved is phenomonal - to come in midseason and win the Champions League, and also to make it so close for the league after being so far behind Barcelona."
"What he has done is phenomonal."
Real Madrid start their defence of the Champions League trophy at home to Sporting CP - the club where Figo and Ronaldo started there career.
