Zidane was born to Algerian immigrants in Marseille, France in 1972.

In 1996, Zidane was transferred to one of the most prestigious clubs in Italy, Juventus. During his time as a member of Juventus, Zidane also lead the French National team to international prowess. It started with a World Cup victory over Brazil 3-0 in 1998, and continued with a 2-1 win over Italy, giving France the European Championship.

Zidane had announced his plans to retire after the World Cup in 2006 and led his team all the way to the final against Italy. During extra time, Zidane lost his cool and headbutted Italian Marco Materazzi, and caused him to get ejected. France went on to lose in penalty kicks. Zidane has since been named a U.N Goodwill Ambassador, along with former Brazilian superstar Ronaldo. The two host a friendly match for charity every year. Zidane was also a crucial part in Qatar winning the 2022 World Cup bid. Zidane took up a role as Real Madrid’s sporting director in 2011, before beginning to coach the team’s youth club in 2012. He was ultimately promoted to being the full-time manager in 2015.
