Sabri Lamouchi (born 9 November 1971 in Lyon, France) is a former professional football who played as a midfielder.
Born in France of Tunisian descent, although he has never stepped foot in Tunisia. Lamouchi made twelve appearances for the France national football team.
From May 2012, he became manager of Côte d'Ivoire national team, his first managerial position.
Club career
Sabri Lamouchi started his professional career with Alès in France.
During his time there, he impressed Auxerre and played with them for four years.
He then went on to join Monaco before being snapped up by Parma of Italy.
Even though he had an average season, he was again on the move this time to Italian giants Internazionale.
He struggled there, and failed to win a place in the team.
Lamouchi had a spell at Genoa before joining Olympique de Marseille on loan the following year.
In January 2006, the loan deal was made a permanent move.
He played for Olympique de Marseille for six further months, until he announced that he was leaving the club on September 18, 2006, although his contract ran until June 2007.
Next, Lamouchi moves to Al-Rayyan in the Qatari League, scoring a spectacular goal in his first match.
The next season, he moved on to Umm-Salal.
In January 2009, Lamouchi transferred to Al-Kharitiyath.
International career
Lamouchi was capped 12 times and scored one goal for the French national team.
He made his debut in 1996 and was a member of the French European Championship squad the same year.
He was in France's preliminary squad of 28 players for the 1998 FIFA World Cup on home soil.
However he was one of 6 players axed by head coach Aime Jacquet just before the tournament began.
France went on to be victorious in the tournament and become national heroes.
Ivory Coast coach Lamouchi opts for experience - The Elephants will face Colombia, Greece and Japan in Group C.
The Ivorian has scored 24 goals in all competitions since joining the Swans from Vitesse Arnhem for a club-record fee of £12m last summer. Bony, 25, has been the bright spot in a disappointing Premier League season.

Everton are open to extending Lacina Traore's loan spell despite the Ivorian's injury-ravaged time at the club since he joined from Monaco.
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure will be out for up to two weeks with a muscle injury picked up in Sunday's defeat by Liverpool.
All five of Africa's World Cup finalists are in action this week as they continue their preparations for this summer's tournament in Brazil.
(Algeria; Cameroon; Ghana; Côte d'Ivoire; Nigeria)
He won the Champions League and two La Liga titles while with Barca. Toure also won league titles in Greece and England, and domestic cups in each country too. According to the people who know him best, Yaya Toure always had the ability and ambition he needed to make his journey from a barefooted boy footballer to one of the best players in the world.
New Swansea City signing Wilfried Bony believes he can emulate Ivory Coast compatriot Didier Drogba's goal-scoring exploits in the Premier League.
