Zidane makes son Enzo captain of Real Madrid Castilla

The 20-year-old will lead the Blancos reserve team in 2015-16 under the watchful eye of his father, who coaches the side

Zinedine Zidane has appointed his son Enzo Zidane captain of Real Madrid's Castilla side for the 2015-16 season.

The 20-year-old has been handed the privilege following the departure of Sergio Aguza, Diego Llorente and Derik Osede, all of whom skippered the side last term.

Enzo has already led Madrid's second string in three of its preseason games against Villarreal B, Burgos and Gimnastica Segoviana.

The midfielder alternated between the Castilla side and Madrid's 'C' team last season.
