Football legend, ZINEDINE ZIDANE's son retires from football at 29 'due to boredom'

Tuesday, September 24, 2024 - Football legend, Zinedine Zidane's son, Enzo has retired from football at the age of 29 due to boredom.

The former midfielder started his youth career with Italian giants Juventus in 2000.

He made only one senior Real Madrid appearance, which he scored with his first touch of the ball in a 5-1 Cup win against Ebro.

However, Enzo has hung up his boots after becoming “bored” with football, reports AS.

He is now looking forward to spending more time with his wife and three kids.

Enzo previously admitted feeling huge pressure due to having a famous father in Zinedine.

He said: “I’ve had it since I was little, and it’s always going to be that way.

“It’s not going to change, but I try to remove myself from it and focus on being the best possible Enzo.

“People compare you, criticise you, want more from you, and say you are there because you are somebody’s son.

“Others will be criticised for other things but I try not to think about it.

‘’The most important thing is that my family are proud of me. I just think about growing up as Enzo and nothing else.

“I was 22 years old at Madrid. After going through the academy and learning from the first team, my goal was to try other things and grow as a footballer.

“Madrid are the best team in the world and it is very difficult to find a space there, but the life of a player is like that.

“I wanted to leave to experience good moments elsewhere and have the same dream.”
