Zinedine Zidane's son, Enzo, joins Rodez on loan to further his football career

Enzo Zidane embarks on a new loan spell with Rodez in Ligue 2

The 27-year-old midfielder seeks regular playing time to boost his development

Enzo Zidane, the son of legendary French footballer Zinedine Zidane, has joined Ligue 2 club Rodez on loan from Almeria until the end of the season. This loan move marks a significant step in Enzo's career as he seeks to gain regular playing time and further enhance his skills on the pitch.

Enzo, a talented midfielder, began his professional career at Real Madrid Castilla, the reserve team of his father's former club. After impressing in the Segunda Division B, he earned a promotion to the first team under Zinedine Zidane's management. However, limited opportunities led him to seek a loan move to Deportivo Alaves in the 2017-18 season.

Following a successful loan spell at Alaves, Enzo joined Lausanne-Sport in the Swiss Super League, where he made a significant impact. His performances caught the attention of Almeria, who acquired his services in 2020. Despite featuring regularly for Almeria in the Segunda Division, Enzo has found playing time more difficult to come by this season.

The loan move to Rodez provides Enzo with an excellent opportunity to rediscover his form and contribute meaningfully to a team aiming for promotion to Ligue 1. Rodez currently sits in eighth place in the Ligue 2 standings, just outside the playoff zone. Enzo's arrival is expected to bolster their midfield and add creativity and experience to the squad.

For Enzo Zidane, this loan spell represents a crucial stage in his development as he strives to establish himself as a top-flight footballer. With his undeniable talent and the guidance of Rodez manager Laurent Peyrelade, he has the potential to make a significant impact and help his new team achieve their goals.
