Enzo Alan Zidane Fernández (IPA: [ˈɛntso ˈælən zidan fɛʁ.nɑ̃.dɛz]; born 24 March 1995) is a Spanish-French professional footballer. He was born in France, attaining Spanish citizenship in 2006, and was called up to the Spain U15 team in 2009. He currently plays as a midfielder for Juvenil A.
He is the son of Zinedine Zidane, but has chosen Enzo Fernández as his commonly formal name to release the stress off his father.[1]
Club career
Since 2004, Enzo has 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.[2][3]
On August 5, 2013, Enzo has been promoted to Juvenil ‘A’ team.[4]
International career
Enzo is eligible to play for France, Spain[5][6] and Algeria, as of his paternal grandparents, who are from there.[7][8] In 2010, Zinedine Zidane stated that he is relaxed about whether his son chooses to play for Spain or France at senior international level.[9][10][11]
Personal life
Named after former Uruguayan star Enzo Francescoli, he is the oldest son of Zinedine Zidane and Veronique Fernández. Enzo has three younger brothers, Luca, Theo, and Elyaz playing on Real Madrid.
Enzo is close friends with Juan José Narváez.[12]
