Hi there, welcome back to GoalNiza channel. Zinedine Zidane is so big
everyone knows about him, but if you still want to know about his biography,
his family, his career, his wealth, and even his headbutt plus several other
facts you might not probably know about him, just stay with us to figure out.
Zinedine Zidane was born to Smail Zidane, a nightwatchman and warehouseman at a department
store, and Malika Zidane, a homemaker. He has three brothers and a sister.
Since May 28, 1994, Zidane is married to Veronique Zidane.
Together they have 4 children Enzo, born in 1995, Luca, born in 1998, Theo, born in 2002,
and Elyas, born in 2005. All of his four children are football players.
Zidane started his career at Cannes before establishing himself as one of the best
players in the French Ligue 1 at Bordeaux. In 1996, he moved to Italian team Juventus, where
he won trophies including two Serie A titles. He moved to Real Madrid for a world record fee
at the time of €77.5 million in 2001, which remained unmatched for the next eight years.
In Spain, Zidane won several trophies, including a La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League.
In the 2002 Champions League Final, he scored a left-foot volleyed winner which
is considered to be one of the greatest goals in the competition's history. Zidane is one of
eight players to have won the World Cup, the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or.
After retiring as a player, Zidane began his coaching career at Real
Madrid Castilla. He remained in the position for two years before taking the helm of the first
team in 2016. He resigned in 2018, but returned to the club as coach in 2019 and proceeded to
win another La Liga and Supercopa de España title. He left the club once again in 2021.
As of 2022, his net worth is estimated at $120 million
which mainly comes from his football career.
Zidane and his family are living in a large mansion in Madrid,
Spain. The house boasts lots of rooms, a large swimming pool and
especially a private football field where his sons can practice every day.
Zidane has four cars in his garage. The first car is Audi RS3 which he got from the club’s
sponsor Audi. It was worth $90.000. He mostly uses this car for daily travel.
Another car from Audi he has is RS6. He bought it for 110.000.
RS6 is designed for family so he often drives it to pick his family for travelling.
The third car he owns is Mercedes-AMG Classe G63 which he bought for $150.000. This is an
extraordinarily versatile car and one gifted with that oft-forgotten automotive talent.
And the last one he often uses for his daily travel
is Range Rover Sport which cost him $70.000.
Zinedine Zidane has one of the easiest nicknames. Most of his fans and friends call him
Zizou. The origin of the name is not exactly known, but two of the most dominant theories are;
one, he was first called so by a friend who reminded him
of another skilled player called Zizou. Two, the nickname came about since people
shied away from calling him Zizi, which in French slang means the male private organ.
Fans have a tendency of copying people they like and look up to. In the '98 World Cup,
after Zidane had displayed utter brilliance, the world went ahead to copy him. Many admired him
and wanted to be associated with him, thus a new hairstyle hit the world like a wave. His 'monk'
hairstyle could be seen everywhere and many people from men, women, and children all had the style.
The football manager welcomed a new puppy to his family in June
2021. He has posted an endearing photo on Instagram smiling broadly at the camera
with his Maltese poodle in his arms on board a boat.
