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.
