Moussa BEZAZ

Moussa Bezaz was born in Algeria, but of French nationality. He began his playing career with Epinal before discovering the professional game with FC Sochaux, whom he joined in 1974. Initially, he joined the Academy at Sochaux, before making his first appearances for the First Team as of 1976. He spent seven seasons at the club, making several appearances in the UEFA Cup for the club in the Doubs region of France. Bezaz was a versatile player, who could play on either flank, and spent the vast majority of his career playing as a winger. With 149 appearances to his name, he left Sochaux to sign for Stade Rennais. With his rather diminuitive stature, he struggled to hold down a regular spot in the First Team line-up in Rennes, despite being converted into a right-back. He would play in just over 10 matches in his first season, and made only two appearances in the second. He finally left Rennes in 1985 and bounced back in the French Third Division with Epinal, where he spent the next two seasons. In 1987, he moved on to join Chaumont, where he would end his career as a player, and begin his managerial career. He went on to manage Chaumont and Charleville, Epinal and Nancy at different levels, ranging from the Second to Fourth Divisions. He eventually became the Palestine National Team manager between 2009-2011.
