Zizou back in actionFrench talisman Zinedine Zidane, who brought the curtain down on a glittering career after a dramatic World Cup final against Italy, may return to the pitch as a professional player, German daily Bild reported.

The article claims that Zizou, as fans endearingly call him, plans to join once again David Beckham in the team of Los Angeles Galaxy in July. His contract will be for one year and a generous pay of more than EUR 10 Million.

The contract will be concluded thanks to Adidas, the German sporting goods maker, which is ready to cover part of the expenses, Bild says.

The 34-year-old France captain retired from professional football after the World Cup final against Italy in July last year, turning from a hero to a villain in a moment of lunacy.

Zidane lost his temper in the last minutes of the extra time and got a red card for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the chest.

Hopefully the influx to North America continues, I can't wait for this semi-continent to discover how magical real football can be.

Good move, and for what he was offered, he'd be stupid to turn it down.
