i always thought Zidane was more like an ISTP, Beckham seems like obvious ESFP
I used to hesitate between ISTP and ISFP for Zidane, but at this point I'm pretty sure he's ISFP. I think his Fi can be seen in interviews, but has become even more striking since he became a coach. To quote a recent-ish article on his managerial style:
"Perhaps the reason Zidane’s managerial talents are so often underplayed is that they defy any sort of easy categorisation or characterisation. Clearly there’s a cerebral element at work there, but on some level it’s about intuition as much as instruction: the ability to feel his way through a game, the knack of sniffing danger a fraction before it happens, the keen anticipation that forms the clearest visible parallel between his playing and coaching lives.
But there are human qualities on show, too: the humility to make a change, essentially admitting your original game-plan didn’t work. The courage to hook Cristiano Ronaldo; Zidane was the first Real manager who dared to do so for tactical reasons. The resolve to break up the wildly successful BBC, given that Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo generally offer too little defensive cover to be played in tandem in the biggest games."
