What was Zinedine Zidane’s salary as Real Madrid manager?

Per RepublicWorld.com, Zizou was earning a reported £10.5 million a year while coaching Los Blancos. It was more than deserved given the enormous success with the club in both of his two stints.

Within six months of taking the reins in January 2016 after the sacking of Rafael Benitez, he lifted the Champions League as a manager like he had as player for Real. This was followed by two more titles, as Real became the first side to win back to back titles in the new format (from 1992 onwards) and the first to win three straight since the 1970s.

He also won two each of La Liga, Club World Cup, European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup in a golden era at the Bernabeu.

At what age did Zidane retire?

Having only turned 34, Zidane retired after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, as he had announced before the tournament. He went out in a blaze of both glory and shame, as he carried France to another final rolling back the years in the process, but suffering the ignominy of a red card in the final for headbutting Matteo Materazzi after the Italian defender had mocked his family.

It did little to dim the light shone on Zidane in France with him still welcomed home as a hero, which he will remain forever more.

How many goals did Zidane score in his career?

He also scored possibly the best Champions League final goal ever in 2002, with a stunning volley securing a 2-1 win for Real over Bayer Leverkusen in Glasgow.
