Ammon News - Zinedine Zidane has made a £4 million investment into a new sport project.

The Real Madrid legend has been out of work since leaving the club as manager in 2021.

Zidane, 52, has often been tipped with a return to management, with the likes of Manchester United and France suggested as options.

But after winning three Champions League and two LaLiga titles he seems no closer to coming back to the dugout.

The Frenchman is still busy away from the pitch and, according to Padel Paper, is taking a dive into a new sport.

The outlet claims that Zidane has made a huge £4m investment into a new padel centre in France.

The centre will feature 13 padel courts as well as two five-a-side football pitches and a beach volleyball court.

Construction is expected to get started in early 2026.

It will be built in the Aix-en-Provence with a second base also opening 50km west in Istres.

Toulouges will be the fourth centre that Zidane has built.

He has also got a hosting centre in Turin thanks to his ties to Juventus from his playing days.
