Zinedine Zidane is the best coach in the world in the eyes of Leicester City ace Riyad Mahrez, with the Ballon d'Or candidate praising his countryman's securing of the Undecima.Although he considers Claudio Ranieri the best coach in the Premier League, the highly-rated player believes the very best is found in the dugout of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu."In England, the number one is our manager, but I would say Zidane is the best in the world because he won the Champions League," the French international told Goal.
The 25-year-old was also asked which player he would sign for The Foxes if he had an unlimited budget and he begrudgingly chose Leo Messi.
"I'd say Messi, although he would take my place!" the Premier League champion joked.
"[As for the best three players in the world], I would say they are Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi and maybe Antoine Griezmann or Luis Suarez."
Since helping Leicester win the league last season there has been plenty of speculation linking Mahrez with a move to LaLiga, so these recent comments will surely fuel that further.
