Lola Mijatovi, daughter of Real Madrid legend Predrag Mijatovic, is rumoured to be relocating to Paris in order to pursue a modelling career, as she appears poised to rock the fashion world. The 19-year-old has lived in Madrid for the majority of her childhood but ‘is set to take modelling world by storm’ according to The Sun.
And in a bid to launch her career, the daughter of the former Real Madrid striker is getting ready to move to the French capital city, which is rather known as ‘the capital of fashion’. Lola has provided her social media fans with access to both her Instagram life and her developing modelling abilities.
Real Madrid star’s daughter taking the internet by storm
A retired professional footballer from Montenegro, Lola’s father Predrag spent majority of his career in Spain, playing for teams like Real Madrid, Valencia, and Levante. In the 1998 UEFA Champions League Final, he scored the goal that gave Real Madrid its first European Cup in 32 years.
The retired striker held the position of director of football at Real Madrid from 2006 to 2009 following his playing career. Predrag married interior designer and model Aneta, and the two went on to have five kids together, including Lola. The aspiring model has previously discussed the impact her well-known father has had on her. She said:
“He has taught me to never give up and to face new challenges, but above all to be humble and a good person. He always gives very good advice with soccer metaphors.”
Lola has been pursuing a degree in Law and Philosophy with Politics and Economics in Madrid in addition to her modelling profession. She is the youngest member of the family and is said to be the only one who speaks four languages, including Serbo-Croatian, French, Spanish, and English.
The siblings of Lola are Nina, Nadja, and Luka. Sadly, Andrea, her other brother, passed away in 2009 at the age of 14 and had cerebral palsy. Outside of her studies, Lola has given her Instagram followers a peek inside her life. Her modelling job is captured in photographs, along with behind-the-scenes material. She enjoys sports as well and has been spotted skiing and watching basketball games.
Lola’s accomplishments in the fashion world are a result of her tenacity and diligence. She has carved out her own niche and is establishing a name for herself in a completely different sector despite coming from a family of football giants. Undoubtedly, her father’s influence has contributed to her success, but Lola has what it takes to be successful on her own terms, too.
Meanwhile, Predrag Mijatovic continued to reside in Valencia after his retirement in 2004 and quickly started a player agency. The striker even finished second in the 1997 Ballon d’Or voting during his playing career, just behind Cristiano Ronaldo and ahead of Zinedine Zidane. He even took over as Real Madrid’s director of football in 2006, holding the job for three years and signed important players in Real Madrid’s history like Pepe, Marcelo, Higuain, and Van Nistelrooy.
