it’s interesting to note that Zinedine Zidane, the football legend and world champion, has enrolled in classes at the University of Limoges, specifically with students from the center for sports law and economics. Zidane, known for his exceptional skills on the football field, will be participating in courses, conferences, and master classes alongside other athletes such as handball player Guéric Kervadec, footballers Éric Carrière and Olivier Dacourt, and athlete Stéphane Diagana.
The fact that Zidane is engaging in academic pursuits demonstrates a growing trend among former athletes who seek education and training beyond their sporting careers. This fifth edition of the seminar, offering a two-year training course, seems to attract prestigious former athletes, providing them with opportunities to broaden their knowledge in sports law and economics.
This initiative highlights the importance of education and continued learning for athletes transitioning from their sports careers to other fields, contributing to their personal and professional development.
