26-year-old Enzo Zidane was trained at Real Madrid where he signed professional in 2013. Since his debut with the reserve team of Real in 2014, the midfielder has known several clubs without ever succeeding. impose: Alavés in Spanish D2 (2017), FC Lausanne sport in Switzerland (2017-2018), Rayo Majadahonda, in Spanish second division (2018-2019), then CD Aves, in Portuguese second division (2019-2020) and finally Almeria, in the Spanish second division (2020).
Regain playing time
"Enzo joins Rodez Aveyron Football with humility and the desire to have fun again", announces the club to which the Zidane family is historically close, since "Zizou" has been one of the club's shareholders since 2012 while Véronique, the wife of French Ballon d'Or and mother of Enzo, is from this town of Aveyron.
Free of any contract, Enzo Zidane has signed up for a period of one year and will wear the number 5. The same one his father wore throughout his career at Real Madrid, from which he has just left the post of coach.
After several complicated seasons and very little playing time, Enzo Zidane will discover the French Ligue 2 with Rodez next season.
In difficulty on the sporting and financial level at the beginning of the decade, the Aveyron club relaunched itself thanks to a capital increase and the involvement of Zinédine Zidane.
"Endowed with strong technical qualities, at ease in small spaces and with a precise ball strike, Enzo Zidane will put all his qualities at the service of the Sang et Or club", adds the club.
