# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 23 June 1972, Zinedine Zidane rose from Cannes through Bordeaux to Juventus, where he claimed two Serie A titles before Real Madrid paid a world-record €77.5 million for him in 2001. He repaid it with a left-foot volley in the 2002 Champions League final, one of the greatest goals ever struck. For France, he scored twice in the 1998 World Cup final, won Euro 2000 as Player of the Tournament, and took the Golden Ball at the 2006 World Cup despite the Materazzi headbutt that ended his playing days. He returned to Madrid as a coach in 2016 and became the first to win three consecutive Champions League titles, resigned in 2018, came back in 2019 for another La Liga crown, and left again in 2021.
