We asked for Zinedine Zidane lookalikes – the suggestions were sublime and ridiculous

Nooruddean Choudry

We pride ourselves on asking the important questions here at JOE.

That’s why the news of Zinedine Zidane taking over as Real Madrid’s head coach didn’t cause us to question his tactical nous or leadership qualities, but rather who he reminded us of…

The response was huge and varied. Here are our favourite suggestions for Zizou-gangers.

There were some genuinely excellent calls…
