The difficulty of being a “son of” is no longer in doubt. Enzo Zidanethe eldest son of French icon Zinedine Zidane, could still attest to this. Aged just 29, the midfielder has chosen to end his professional football career.
It was the Madrid daily AS that announced this information this week. Enzo is the eldest of a family of 4 footballers, all brought up by the 1998 world champion. A pure product of Real Madrid, the son of Zinedine Zidane had the ambition to make his mark in a big club.
A premature end to a career
Despite his technical quality, Enzo Zidane has failed to establish himself in the professional football landscape. The former Real Madrid player has been without a club since the end of the 2022-23 season.
Father of three children, Enzo Zidane will now devote himself to his family. His name will remain associated with the Rodez club, where he had a brief stint in the French Ligue 2. He also played in the Spanish second division and in Switzerland.
