“I don’t know if it’s very smart to say it here, but I like Colin Dagba. Really, he’s an incredible guy. He is reliable. He trains every day with the same level, a good state of mind. He does things well. He’s a top replacement. He has the quality to start, but with the muscle injuries last year I am very attentive and careful with him. Now he is a very important replacement for us.released Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel in February 2019. In an Ile-de-France club where it was then very difficult for the Titis to exist, Colin Dagba showed his talent behind Thomas Meunier and Dani Alves, the two executives at the right-back position. The right-hander trained at Boulogne-sur-Mer then at Paris Saint-Germain grew at his own pace. Launched on August 4, 2018 against Monaco (4-0) during the Champions Trophy, he played 20 matches in his first season and demonstrated versatility with his ability to play on the right or on the left.
“He is good in every position like on the left against Manchester United. He trains with great quality. He is fast, technically very reliable, he can protect the ball, he does not lose the ball easily. He has a good understanding and reading of the game. He has a good mentality», marveled his coach at the time. The following season he played 16 matches due to a knee injury then 33 matches the following season, notably starting against Bayern Munich in the quarter-final of the Champions League where he compensated for a cascade of injuries. A useful shadow player who became an U21 international with France whose trajectory was upward. But it was going to get complicated during the 2021/2022 season. Betrayed by his body and not at all in the plans of his new coach Mauricio Pochettino, especially since the arrival of Achraf Hakimi put an end to all competition. After six matches and only 381 minutes played, he came to the conclusion that he had to leave Paris Saint-Germain to find continuity.
From C1 to Serie B
It was therefore in Strasbourg that he set down his bags in the summer of 2022. Staying a season in Alsace for 21 appearances, the native of Béthune failed to convince. Returning to PSG, he then went to Auxerre, just relegated to Ligue 1. Staying for one season, he played 18 matches in a joker role and went behind Paul Joly. A much more pronounced failure which pushed him to terminate his contract so that he joined the Belgian club Beerschot then promoted to the Jupiler Pro League. “Naturally, PSG is one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am very proud to have been able to play alongside the best players in the world. I also learned a lot from them, but now it’s time to give my career a new boost. Beerschot turns out to be the ideal club for me“, he announced then. Rather starting for his first exercise with the club from the suburbs of Antwerp under the orders of Dirk Kuyt, he nevertheless failed to prevent relegation and last place.
Remaining despite relegation, he struggled to be used at the start of the season before becoming a valuable element in the race for promotion. However, that was not enough with a defeat against Lommel (3-1 and 3-1) in the playoff final. A disappointment which led him to change direction and sign last September with Carrarrese. The Italian club is currently bottom of Serie B, the Italian second division. Carrarrese understands that his arrival will do good for a team which is hoping to maintain its position. “The French right-back, born in 1998, has impressive offensive qualities, great speed and excellent control of the game. At the same time, he is always vigilant and regular in defense, particularly when marking”particularly praised his club with whom he signed for two years with one year optional. Starting just before the break during the 1-0 defeat against Benevento, he represents a good option as a piston under the orders of Gabriele Cioffi. Far from the Champions League known at Paris Saint-Germain, Colin Dagba continues his career in a more confidential manner.
