Club career

[edit]

Real Madrid

[edit]

From 2004, Zidane played for the youth academy of Real Madrid. On 6 September 2011, he was invited by José Mourinho to train with the club's first team.[1][2]

On 5 August 2013, Zidane was promoted to the Juvenil 'A' team.[3]

On 16 November 2014, Zidane made his debut for Real Madrid Castilla, the B-team, as a substitute in a 2–1 win over Conquense in Segunda División B.[4]

On 12 August 2015, Zidane was named one of the vice-captains of Castilla.[5] He scored his first senior goal ten days later in the first game of the 2015–16 season, a 5–1 home routing of Ebro.[6]

On 29 October, Zidane was promoted to train regularly with the first team.[7] He made his senior debut for the club on 30 November 2016, coming off the bench for Isco in a Copa del Rey clash with Cultural Leonesa and scoring from the edge of the penalty area in a 6–1 home win (13–2 aggregate).[8]

Alavés

[edit]

On 29 June 2017, Alavés announced their signing of Zidane from Real Madrid on a 3-year contract for an undisclosed fee, with a buyback clause.[9] He made his La Liga debut on 26 August, coming on as a late substitute for Mubarak Wakaso in a 0–2 home loss against Barcelona.[10]

Lausanne-Sport

[edit]

On 1 January 2018, Zidane signed for Lausanne-Sport of the Swiss Super League on a three-year deal after terminating his contract at Alavés.[11] He was the first signing by the club after their takeover by British petrochemical corporation Ineos that November.[12] He made his debut on 3 February as the season resumed after the winter break, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Andrea Maccoppi in a 2–1 loss at Luzern.[13] Fifteen days later he scored his first goal for the team, consolation in a 3–1 loss at Sion.[14] He scored once more that season, opening a 2–1 win over Lugano at the Stade olympique de la Pontaise on 2 April.[15]

On 14 July 2018, Zidane returned to Spain after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Rayo Majadahonda in the second division.[16] He made his debut on 19 August in the season opener away to Real Zaragoza, received a yellow card and was substituted at half time for Toni Martínez in a 2–1 defeat.[17]

Aves

[edit]

On 15 July 2019, Zidane joined Portuguese side Aves as a free agent, having previously been in negotiations with nearby Vitória de Guimarães.[18] On his second substitute appearance on 23 August, he scored his first Primeira Liga goal, consolation in a 5–1 loss at Rio Ave.[19]

Almería

[edit]

In the last minutes of the January 2020 transfer window, Zidane agreed to a move to Almería, returning to Spain and its second division.[20] He was released on 2 October having played only four times, once in a playoff; the team were managed by his father's long-time teammate Guti.[21]

In September 2020, reports emerged that Zidane would join Moroccan club Wydad CA,[22] citing Roberto Carlos, a Brazilian former teammate of his father who was claimed to be his agent.[23] However, French journalist Frédéric Hermel [fr] assured that the reports were false.[24]

Later career and retirement

[edit]

On 9 June 2021, Zidane signed for Ligue 2 club Rodez.[25] On 18 July 2022, Zidane joined Fuenlabrada in the Primera Federación on a one-year contract.[26] He played 29 times in all competitions and scored once, the only goal at San Sebastián de los Reyes on 11 December.[27]

In September 2024, Zidane announced his retirement from professional football, at age 29. According to Enzo himself, he wants to focus on family matters and his own investments.[28]

International career

[edit]

Zidane is eligible to play for France or Spain,[29][30] as well as Algeria, through his paternal grandparents.[31][32] In 2010, Zinedine Zidane stated that he is relaxed about whether his son chooses to play for Spain or France at senior international level.[33][34][35] Enzo made one appearance for the Spain national under-15 football team in 2009.[36] He switched to the French Football Federation, and made two appearances for the France national under-19 football team in 2014.[37]

Personal life
