Armel N'Dinga Koulara Kwanyéllé (born 15 August 1989 in N'Djamena, Chad; known simply as Armel Koulara and occasionally Armel Kwanyéllé) is a footballer from Chad who plays as a goalkeeper for AS CotonTchad.[1]
Attributes
An agile and sprightly goalkeeper in addition to being a penalty specialist, Armel is Gazelle's first choice penalty taker, following in the footsteps of other goal-scoring 'keepers such as Brazilian Rogério Ceni, Vincent Enyeama of Hapoel Tel Aviv and Nigeria, Hans-Jörg Butt of FC Bayern Munich and José Luis Chilavert, formerly of Paraguay. Armel has scored 11 goals for Gazelle so far, all of them penalty kicks, however it should be noted that his penalty taking privileges do not extend to the Chad national football team, for whom he has seven caps to date,[2] with Misdongard Betoligar occupying the role for the Sao.
