Zinedine Yazid Zidane (IPA: [ˌzineˈdin jaziːd ziˈdan]; born 23 June 1972), popularly nicknamed Zizou, is a French football player of Algerian descent, famous for leading France to winning the 1998 World Cup. He was a midfielder who played for four European clubs, including Juventus FC and Real Madrid. As a member and later captain of the French national team he participated in two World Cup finals - including winning the tournament in 1998 - and in three European Championships, winning that tournament in 2000.
Having gained fame in Europe as a playmaker for Juventus, Zidane attracted worldwide attention in the 1998 World Cup final with two headed goals against Brazil which won his country its first FIFA World Cup. He also contributed to France's victory in Euro 2000, and at the club level he went on to win domestic championships in Italy and Spain with Juventus and Real Madrid respectively. In the final of the 2001-02 UEFA Champions League he scored the winning goal for Real Madrid. At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he was named "Most Outstanding Player" of the tournament, receiving the Golden Ball, captaining the French side that reached the final. However, Zidane's career ended in controversy as he was dismissed in extra-time of the 2006 Final for headbutting Italian defender Marco Materazzi.
Zidane was elected FIFA World Player of the Year a record-equalling three times (1998, 2000, 2003), finished in the top-three an additional three times (1997, 2002, 2006). He was also named European Footballer of the Year in 1998. The world-record fee of €66 million (US$87 million, £47 million) for his transfer to Real Madrid in 2001 is the highest ever paid. In 2004, he topped the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll as the "Best European football player of the past 50 years", and was included in the FIFA 100, Pelé's list of the 125 greatest living footballers.
As originally announced on 25 April 2006,[3] Zidane retired from professional football after the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Zinédine Yazid Zidane (født 23. juni 1972 i Marseille) er en tidligere fransk fotballspiller. Han spilte for den spanske klubben Real Madrid og det franske landslaget og var av de beste på begge lagene, og i verden generelt. Han har i flere år fått tittelen årets spiller, og blir av mange sett på som en av de beste spillerene gjennom tidene. Han var med på å sikre Frankrike gull både i VM 1998 og EM 2000.
Zinedine Zidane var i følge mange en komplett fotballspiller. Han hadde alle ferdigheter som skal til for å lykkes på en fotballbane. Han hadde blant annet vanvittig balanse, en utrolig pasnings- og skuddfot, et fabelaktig overblikk, ekstreme dribleferdigheter, spilleforståelse av en annen verden og en magisk evne til alltid å være noen meter foran motspillerne og til å gli unna taklinger. Kombiner alt dette med en helt syk eleganse og du har Zinedine Zidane i et nøtteskall. Et bevis på denne elegansen kom i VM-finalen, da han kjippet ballen midt i mål (tverrligger inn) på en straffe mot verdens beste keeper i finalen av verdens største fotballturnering.
Med Real Madrid har han vunnet Champions League i sesongen 2001/2002 og det spanske mesterskapet i 2002/2003.
Han har tidligere spilt for den italienske klubben Juventus der han var med på vinne Serie
