Early life

[edit]

Djorkaeff was born inLyon,[6] to aFrench father ofPolish andKalmyk origin,Jean Djorkaeff, and anArmenian mother, Mary Ohanian,[7] in Lyon.[8]

Club career

[edit]

Djorkaeff started his career in 1984 with French clubGrenoble, before moving toRC Strasbourg in 1989,AS Monaco in 1990, and thenParis Saint-Germain in 1995. In 1994, Djorkaeff ledDivision 1 in goals with 20. He won theUEFA Cup Winners' Cup with PSG in1996. In 190 French top-flight matches Djorkaeff scored 73 goals.[9]

In 1996, he signed with Italian clubInter Milan. In his first season, he scored 17 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions, scoring 14 goals in 33 Serie A appearances; with his excellent performances,[10][11] he helped the club to a third–place finish in Serie A, and also reached theUEFA Cup Final. Inter were defeated in the final bySchalke on penalties following a 1–1 draw on aggregate; Djorkaeff was suspended for the first leg although he was able to net his spot kick in the second leg shootout.[12][13][14] During the course of the season, he also scored a memorable goal from abicycle kick in a 3–1 home win againstRoma in the league, on 5 January 1997, which is considered to be one of the greatest goals scored in the club's history.[15][16] His following season was less successful individually, as he struggled to play well alongside the club's new signingRonaldo,[17][18][19] although collectively Inter finished the season in second place in Serie A and won theUEFA Cup, defeatingLazio 3–0 in thefinal at theParc des Princes.[20] In his third and final season with the team, following the signing ofRoberto Baggio, he also struggled to find space in the team, and suffered a further loss of form; moreover, the club eventually finished the season in eighth place, outside of all possible European qualifying spots.[21][22][23]

In 1999, he transferred to Germany andKaiserslautern, helping them to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in2001.

Djorkaeff turned many heads when signing with English clubBolton Wanderers in 2002, but added a lot of class to the team during his three seasons there, resulting in the creation of an international "dream-team" alongside the tricky NigerianJay-Jay Okocha, and formerReal Madrid midfielderIván Campo. He was a member of the squad that reached the final of the2003–04 League Cup.[24] He then transferred toBlackburn Rovers but left the club after playing in only three games.

Djorkaeff then signed with theMetroStars ofMajor League Soccer in February 2005, turning down higher paid offers from other countries. He became the first French player to play in MLS and ended the season as the team'sMVP with ten goals and seven assists in league play.

Djorkaeff playing forNew York Red Bulls in 2006

Djorkaeff announced from the beginning that he would hang-up his boots at the end of 2006 season, and played for the re-brandedNew York Red Bulls.[25] On 1 July 2006, he was spotted in the crowd with French fans at theFIFA World Cup quarter-final match between France andBrazil after telling Red Bulls officials he left the club to attend to "an unexpected, serious family matter in France." Upon his return, he revealed that the purpose of his departure was to be with his sick mother and downplayed watching the World Cup match.[26]

He retired from professional football on 29 October 2006.

International career

[edit]

Djorkaeff accumulated 82caps and scored 28 goals forFrance at senior level between 1993 and 2002. Other than the two major tournaments he won with the national side – the1998 FIFA World Cup andUEFA Euro 2000 – Djorkaeff also played for his country inUEFA Euro 1996 and the2002 FIFA World Cup. In the1998 FIFA World Cup Final in Paris, he set-upZinedine Zidane's second goal from a corner in an eventual 3–0 victory over defending championsBrazil.[27]

Style of play

[edit]

NicknamedThe Snake, due to his ability to get past defenders andbend the ball,[28][29][30] Djorkaeff was a talentedplaymaker, who usually played as anattacking midfielder, although he was also capable of playing in deeper positions in midfield on occasion – namely as acentral midfielder – or in more attacking roles, as a creativesecond striker, or even as an outrightstriker, while he often featured in a wide role on theleft flank at international level.[10][17][22][28][30][31][32][33][34][35][excessive citations] An elegant and technically gifted player, he was mainly known for his flair,dribbling skills, and excellent touch on the ball; he was also known for his vision, passing, composure, and class, and possessed a good shot, which enabled him both to score and create goals.[28][36][37][38][39][40] He was known for his positional sense and intelligent movement off the ball, as well as his ability to lose his markers with his attacking runs and create space for himself, or provide depth to the team;[30][41] he was also highly regarded for his accuracy fromfree kicks andpenalties with his right foot.[30][36][42][43] A hard-working player, who was known for his defensive contribution off the ball,[10][36] he had the ability to link the defence with the attack or drift out wide in a free role inmidfield;[28][30][44] as such, his playing style and role has been described as that of a "nine and a half," half-way between that of a midfielder and that of a forward,[37] which from a tactical standpoint, however, occasionally made it difficult for managers to find the right position for him on the pitch that best suited his capabilities.[10][17][21] Moreover, despite his talent and success, he was also accused of being inconsistent at times in the media.[45]

Personal life

[edit]

Djorkaeff and his wife, Sophie, and three children: Sacha,Oan and Angelica. Djorkaeff released a singing single called "Vivre dans Ta Lumière" ("Living in Your Light").[46] His father,Jean, and younger brother,Micha Djorkaeff, were also professional football players.[28] On 15 November 2012, Djorkaeff hosted Phone-a-thon for Armenian charity held in Europe. The Phoneathon benefits the construction of community centres in villages throughoutNagorno Karabakh and comprehensive agricultural development in Armenia's Tavush Region. In addition, a part of the proceeds will be dedicated to providing urgent aid to the Syrian-Armenian community.[47] During his time in England, Djorkaeff opened a football school in Armenia.[29] In April 2007, once he had retired as a player, he became the president of his childhood club in Lyon - Union Generale Armenienne de Decines.[48] Djorkaeff currently also runs the Youri Djorkaeff Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing football programs inNew York City.Ecuadorian international forwardDjorkaeff Reasco was named after him, as was CuraçaoanTahith Chong.[49]
