Djibril Cissé returns to AJ Auxerre

Now retired from the field, Djibril Cissé is returning to the club which revealed him to football fans in the early 2000s. AJA, relegated to Ligue 2, hired him to take care of attackers of the club.

” He is back ! 19 years after his departure as a player for the legendary Liverpool FC, Djibril Cissé returns home. The top scorer in Ligue 1 in 2002 and 2004 will intervene every week with our attackers, in close collaboration with Christophe Pélissier and his technical staff. Our former centre-forward (90 goals in 169 games at AJA), who will begin his training to become a coach, will also provide valuable advice and share his experience with the young attackers of the reserve team. A return to basics and an obvious handover for one of the greatest players trained at AJA. Welcome back home Djibril! “, announces Auxerre in a press release.
