If he became a successful coach, Zinédine Zidane also managed his post-football career very well. The ex-star of the Blues has notably made an astonishing investment which brings him 500,000 euros each year.

Zinédine Zidane continues to be talked about off the pitch. The 1998 world champion, who has put his coaching career on hiatus since leaving Real Madrid, has multiplied his investments during and after his years as a footballer.

“Zizou” would thus have accumulated nearly 200 million euros and has chosen to diversify its investments and financial income. We all remember his iconic ads for Volvic, Leader Price or Dior but a more amazing project has emerged and it is more than profitable!

It would allow the former number 10 of the Blues to collect half a million euros each year. The project dates back many years, to 2004 when Zidane was still playing at Real Madrid. The player trained at AS Cannes would have at the time made an investment of 8 million euros in an Ephad Korian Le Cap Sicie in Seyne-sur-Mer in the Var. This retirement home is located near the Janas forest, the harbor of Toulon and the beach of Les Sablettes. The place is well found, the surroundings pleasant and would still bring him nearly 500,000 euros each year.

This is obviously not Zinédine Zidane’s only major investment. The French icon notably had a hollow nose several years ago by creating the now famous institution “Z5” near Marseille. These are synthetic football pitches that are predisposed to accommodate two teams of five players, upon reservation. “Futsal” has exploded in France and “Z5” has become an important player in this booming market.
