*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Tarik Sektioui (Arabic: طارق السكتيوي; born 13 May 1977) is a Moroccan retired footballer who played as a right winger, and a current manager of RS Berkane.
He spent most of his professional career in the Netherlands and Portugal, amassing Eredivisie totals of 142 games and 29 goals over the course of eight seasons.
Club career
Born in Fes, Sektioui played two seasons at French club AJ Auxerre, failing to establish with the first team and also appearing sparingly for the reserves during his spell. He arrived at the Netherlands and Tilburg's Willem II in January 2000 from Swiss side Neuchâtel Xamax, going on to play a major role and eventually gaining captaincy.
In the 2004–05 campaign, Sektioui switched to AZ Alkmaar thus returning to the Eredivisie. During his two-year tenure, he scored some vital goals and formed an efficient attacking partnership with Shota Averladze.[1]
After an uneventful loan stint in 1999 with C.S. Marítimo, Sektioui returned to Portugal in July 2006 after Co Adriaanse (also his coach at Willem II) signed him for FC Porto.[2] He would find the adjustment difficult, and spent the second half of the season on loan to yet another Dutch team, RKC Waalwijk. On 3 February 2007 he played his first game, against NAC Breda.[3]
Even though Adriaanse was gone, Sektioui was recalled for 2007–08, and was a key member of the squad coached by Jesualdo Ferreira that retained the Primeira Liga title with five matches remaining. On the fourth day of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, he scored arguably the best goal of the night after overtaking five Olympique de Marseille defenders before hitting home beyond the goalkeeper;[4] Porto eventually reached the round-of-16, ousted by FC Schalke 04 on penalties.
On 2 July 2009, after having featured rarely for Porto during the campaign – 17 appearances all competitions comprised – Sektioui moved to Ajman Club in the United Arab Emirates, on a one-year deal.[5] He retired after one season aged 33, but later went back on his decision and joined his very first professional club, hometown's MAS Fez.
International career
A Moroccan international since 2001, Sektioui represented his nation in the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring a penalty in the 5–1 rout of Namibia.[6]
