Why Hakimi put his mother in charge
According to Hakimi, the situation has nothing to do with his marriage. He explained that he began his professional football career at a very young age, before he was legally old enough to open or operate a bank account. Because of that limitation, his mother stepped in to manage his finances on his behalf.
The football star added that during those early years, he was already earning significant sums of money and consistently leaned on his mother for guidance and advice.

Beyond that, he noted that his mother had always been the person who ran their household, and she handled that responsibility with diligence and care. Over time, the family simply continued with the same arrangement.
"She was good and responsible at it, so they just let her do everything," he said.
