Marco_Simone SG It has to be Zidane,he won everything-Euro,WC,UCL,league titles in Italy and Spain not to mention many Footballers of the Year Awards... Just a question,has he won any domestic cups before?
JLennon SG It has to be Beckenbauer. Won the World Cup as player and as coach and look at the influence that he wields now.
JusStatic SG Marcel Desailly only won the CLs with two different clubs. Olympique Marseille (1993) and AC Milan (1994)
