Hassan Kachloul

Hassan Kachloul (Arabic: حسان كشلول; born 19 February 1973) is a Moroccan former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

He played for the Morocco national team and was a squad member at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

Born in Agadir, Morocco, Kachloul was raised in Belleville in France and spent his early career in French football, with Nîmes Olympique, before signing for FC Metz, who loaned him to USL Dunkerque and AS Saint-Étienne respectively.

He had originally made a verbal agreement to join Ipswich Town,[4] and was celebrated as a crucial signing,[5] but changed his mind at the last minute to head to Villa Park.

He had spent five months on loan at fellow Premier League side Wolves during the campaign, but had only managed four games, after suffering injury and illness.
