Souleymane Diamoutene (born 30 January 1983 in Sikasso) is a Malian football defender, who currently plays for Bulgarian A PFG club Levski Sofia.

[edit] Career

Diamoutene spent his professional club footballing career in Italy, moving in the country after being noted by a Udinese scout.^[2] He then trained with the zebrette under-19 squad for a few months between 1999 and 2000, without being officially signed.^{[citation needed]} After a friendly against Pisa, he was spotted by Francesco D'Arrigo, the head coach of the nerazzurri, who successfully signed him with his next club, Serie C1's Lucchese.^{[citation needed]} Diamoutene spent two seasons with Lucchese, and in 2003 he was signed by Perugia.

In 2004, Diamoutene joined Lecce, becoming a mainstay of the salentini under coach Zdenek Zeman. He played two seasons in Serie A (2004–05, 2005–06) and two in Serie B (2006–07, 2007–08). He was confirmed with Lecce for the 2008–09 season, the first one back in the top flight for his club, but in January 2009 he was loaned to Roma with a pre-set price of €3.15M^[3]^[4] as a replacement for outgoing Christian Panucci.

On 31 August 2009, Diamoutene joined Bari on a loan deal.^[5]

On 10 February 2012, it was announced that Diamoutene had signed a one-and-a-half year contract with Bulgarian A PFG club Levski Sofia.^[6] He was handed the number 25 shirt.

[edit] International career

At youth level, Diamoutene played at the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship. He is also a full Malian international. He represented Mali at the 2004 African Cup of Nations in Tunisia, the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana and the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.
