Real Madrid Most successful coach in LaLiga history in first 32 matches

Zidane: Not many teams can win 3-0 at the Calderon

The convincing win at the Estadio Vicente Calderon quashed any doubts in Zinedine Zidane's coaching ability, and in fact the victory also made the French boss the most successful LaLiga coach through 32 games.

Surprisingly enough, delivering the Undecima, the UEFA Super Cup and going 28 matches unbeaten weren't considered sufficient, as questions remained over whether the team's style of play merited such astounding numbers and records.

There were plenty of injuries before the derby, but intelligent squad management meant even players who weren't receiving a lot of playing time, were ready to deliver, most notably Isco.

Zidane has also shown to be more tactically flexible than most anticipated, choosing a 4-2-3-1 system with an Isco roaming behind Cristiano Ronaldo that worked to perfection against a surprised Atleti.

On other occasions, Zizou has switched between his usual 4-3-3 and a 4-4-2 depending on personel available, and this versatility has been appreciated by many within the squad.

Through 32 matches, Zidane has achieved 83 points, two more than even Pep Guardiola was able to do when sculpting the best Barcelona side in club history.

Not even Jose Mourinho's 100 point league boasted as impressive numbers as Zidane.

With 26 victories, five draws and just one loss, if anyone can lead Real Madrid to another league championship, the priority for this season, then Zidane is the person to do it.
