Enzo Alan Zidane Fernández (IPA: [ˈɛntso aˈlɑ̃ zidan ferˈnandeθ]; born 24 March 1995), known mononymously as Enzo, is a French-Spanish footballer who plays for Real Madrid Castilla as a midfielder. The eldest son of retired French footballer Zinedine Zidane, Enzo was born in France and attained Spanish citizenship in 2006.

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.[1][2]

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

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

On 12 August 2015, Enzo 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 CD Ebro.[6]

On 29 October, Enzo 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]

International career

Enzo is eligible to play for France or Spain,[9][10] as well as Algeria, where his paternal grandparents are from.[11][12] In 2010, Zinedine Zidane stated that he is relaxed about whether his son chooses to play for Spain or France at senior international level.[13][14][15] Enzo made one appearance for the Spain national under-15 football team in 2009.[16] He switched to the French Football Federation, and made two appearance for the France national under-19 football team in 2014.[17]

Personal life

He is the oldest son of Zinedine Zidane and Véronique Fernández, and is known as Enzo Fernández.[18]

Enzo was named after former Uruguayan star Enzo Francescoli. He has three younger brothers, Luca, Theo, and Elyaz playing at the Real Madrid youth academy.[19][20][21]
