France coach Didier Deschamps has sung the praise of Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

Deschamps rates Zidane as his coach of the year.

"I voted for him for the ranking of the best coach of the year. He has very good players and manages his team well," said Deschamps.

"He also releases a lot of serenity. I did not see him as a coach, and then he decided.

"He has legitimacy, what he says is consistent, and vis-à-vis players, it still carries a little more."
