Stranger than fiction: The reason why Zinedine Zidane was almost sacked as main coach of real Madrid B

Zinedine Zidane is one of the top 5 soccer players of all time (World Cup 1998, Euro Cup 2000, etc).
He retired and became assistant coach for Real Madrid in 2013 and in August 2014, main coach for Real Madrid B.
A director of the Spanish National Football Coach Education Centre because he does not have a three year higher education degree in Soccer coaching.
Zinedine Zidane was fined and expelled from Spanish league. His lawyer found a loophole due to his French citizenship and saved the day.
Zidane made his professional debut aged 16. Too busy becoming one of the greatest players of all time to spend three years at university. He spent his first weeks at his first club mainly on cleaning duty as a punishment for punching an opponent who mocked his ghetto origins.
