Remaining in the shadow of his brother Zinedine, Majid Zidane leads an ordinary life in Marseille.
Zinedine Zidane, “El Magnifico” of French football, has 3 brothers: Madjid, Nordine, and Farid.
Who are Zinedine Zidane’s brothers?
Zinedine Zidane needs no introduction to football fans.
Not only did he make a name for himself on the field with his talent, but he also coached Real Madrid for many years.

Apparently, since the beginning of his career, the former captain of the Blues has always been able to rely on his fans, especially his family.
On the other hand, during “Zizou’s” farewell as captain of the Blues at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on May 7, 2006, his three brothers, Madjid, Nordine, and Farid, wanted to be by his side.
In July 2019, sadly, Farid passed away from cancer at the age of 54. When he learned that his brother was in his last breaths, the football genius left Real Madrid’s training camp in Canada to be with him.
Nordine, a Zizou fan, was photographed with their father Small Zidane watching the World Cup from their home in Marseille in 1998.
It is noteworthy that at that time, the Blues won the tournament.
Nordine Zidane also managed Zizou’s career at one point.
How is Madjid living?
As for Madjid Zidane, he too preferred to stay out of the media limelight as his brother.
Madrid remains a partner in the Zidane Diffusion company.
He lives in Marseille, where he works as a janitor at a pool located in the La Castellane neighborhood. Far from the media pressure, he goes by the name Jamel.
And if he gets the chance, he will take the opportunity to return to Algeria. It seems that Madjid Zidane prefers to lead an ordinary life, despite being the brother of a football legend.
