Playing career

[citation needed]

After recovering from his injury, Madar left Spain for England where he was signed by then-Everton manager Howard Kendall in January 1998.[7][6] Over the next 12 months, and two partial seasons, he played 19 league games for the club, scoring six goals, including one on his debut against Crystal Palace,[8][5] as well as missing an open goal in the Merseyside derby when Everton were leading 1-0

In December 1998 Madar moved to Paris Saint-Germain. Then in 2001 he transferred to Créteil. Madar retired at the end of the season in 2002.[5]
