I shall be very interested to see how Zinedine Zidane shapes up as manager - possibly my all-time favourite player.

Again according to Wiki - Zizou has been involved in some form of coaching capacity at Real since 2010, including the last 18 months as Coach of the B side. Considerably more experience that Pep had before getting the big job, but still not a great deal.
As an aside - how many truly great players (say by being a key part of a Champions league winning side, or an internationally-rated international) have really made it as a manager/coach (say by coaching the team that won the league)?
EDIT: Clough??
EDIT 2: Dalglish. Ancelotti.
Really struggling now....

Much though I hate to say something good about Southampton FC, Ronald Koeman?
He certainly did it as a player, less of a stellar success as a manager, perhaps, but solid, and I like the bloke.
