In an interview with Le Telegramme, Cyril Ramond has confirmed that Zidane saved Rodez from disappearance several seasons ago.

“Zidane saved the club, when I was at Rodez We are going through a very difficult time financially, but Zidane saved the team”, Cyril Raimond assured. In 2012, the Real Madrid coach participated in a capital increase of the modest French club of 113,000 euros together with other professionals such as Olivier Dacourt and Sylvain Ndiaye.

Furthermore, Ramond added: “Zidane's wife is from Rodez and when the club had great financial problems, it was Zidane's intervention that allowed us to continue. He brought his contacts, organized a tournament and an exhibition match with France '98. And he also made a donation to the club. Without him, the club would not have recovered and the club would not have recovered if not for him ”.
