'People don't appreciate him as a coach': Luka Modric baffled by any criticism of Zinedine Zidane as he compares Real Madrid boss to legends Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger

Luka Modric insists Zinedine Zidane deserves to be 'untouchable' and believes the Real Madrid manager can be Real Madrid's Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger.

Zidane has had even more success as a manager than he did as a Real player, winning 11 trophies including two LaLiga titles and three Champions Leagues during two spells as coach.

Despite his impressive achievements, the Frenchman has still faced plenty of criticism - most recently when Real were knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City in August.
