Algerian international Jaouen Hadjam bids farewell to FC Nantes, where he faced a blacklist since April last year, to embark on a new chapter with Swiss club Young Boys Bern. The talented left-back has inked a robust 4-year contract with the Swiss championship contenders.
Having commenced his football journey at Paris FC, Hadjam made his move to FC Nantes in January 2022, marking the initiation of a promising season.
However, the winds of change swept through his professional trajectory with the appointment of coach Antoine Kombouaré.
The alteration in leadership dynamics significantly impacted Hadjam’s standing within the team, despite his status as an international asset, leaving him yearning for greater recognition.
The fissure between Hadjam and FC Nantes began during the previous Ramadan when a contentious issue arose.
Kombouaré, in a controversial decision, disallowed players from observing fasting during training and matches, a stance that contradicted medical advice that identified no drawbacks in accommodating the practice.
The left-back’s move to Young Boys Bern not only provides him with a fresh start but also aligns him with a club competing at the top echelons of Swiss football.
The 4-year commitment underscores the confidence and belief that the Swiss outfit places in Hadjam’s capabilities, marking a significant milestone in the player’s career.
As Hadjam prepares to don the colors of Young Boys Bern, the football community eagerly anticipates witnessing his contributions to the Swiss championship and the impact he may bring to the club’s defensive prowess.
