After playing for US Melun with Lilian Thuram in 1989 , Makélélé began his professional career in 1990 at Stade Brest , where he stayed for a year before moving to FC Nantes at the age of 18 . From the 1992/93 season Makélélé played for the A-team. With the Elf called Canaris , he won the French championship title in 1995 . After five years and 169 games at Nantes, he moved to Olympique Marseille in 1997 , from where he moved to Celta Vigo in Spain after just one season .

He returned to France in July 2008 and signed with PSG for four years. The first two years he was to be active as a player, the remaining two years should take on another activity in the club. In May 2010, Makélélé won the French Cup for the first time in his career . On February 25, 2010 Makélélé announced that he would end his active career after the 2009/10 season. After another season at PSG, he ended his active career after the 2010/11 season.

Spain

His first club in Spain was Celta Vigo , where he was very successful for two seasons. In 2000 he was signed by Real Madrid for around 14 million euros. With Real Madrid he won the Spanish championship title in 2001 and 2003 , as well as the Spanish Supercup. In 2002, the UEFA Champions League was won with the help of Makélélé . In the final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen he played until the 73rd minute before he was replaced by Flávio Conceição . After a few years in Spain, he moved to England and accepted an offer from Chelsea .

England

Chelsea signed the midfielder for the equivalent of around 20 million euros. Makélélé was able to record some successes on the island. He won the English championship in 2005 and 2006 and was also able to win the English league cup in 2005 and 2007 . In 2007 the English Cup was also won. In 2008 he was again in a Champions League final, where he was substituted for Juliano Belletti in the 120th minute . In the following penalty shootout, Makélélé was unable to participate and he had to watch his team lose to Manchester United .

Return to France

On July 21, 2008, the club announced that Makélélé had left the team on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). There he became team captain and ended his career in the summer of 2011.

National team

Makélélé was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo , but decided to play for the French national team.

On September 11, 2004, after EURO 2004 in Portugal , where he had three appearances, Makélélé announced his retirement from the French national team, but returned to the game against Ivory Coast on August 17, 2005 with Zinédine Zidane and Lilian Thuram the team back.

One day after the lost World Cup final against Italy, he finally resigned from the national team on July 10, 2006. On August 24, 2006, however, Makélélé declared his "resignation from his resignation" and was, like Lilian Thuram, still available to the French national team. At the European Championship finals in 2008 he was part of the French squad . After the defeat in the preliminary round against Italy and the subsequent elimination of the French, he again declared his final resignation from the national team, parallel to Lilian Thuram.

Trainer

For the 2011/2012 season he took up his work as assistant coach at Paris Saint-Germain. On May 22, 2014, Makélélé signed a two-year contract as head coach of SC Bastia . From July 1, 2014, he will replace the outgoing coach Frédéric Hantz , who has headed the team since 2010. On November 3, 2014, he was released after twelve games. From January 7th to June 6th, 2016 Makélélé was Technical Director at AS Monaco .

From November 2017 he was a coach at the Belgian first division KAS Eupen . In the first season he managed to save the club on the last day of the main round from relegation. In the 2018/19 season , Eupen reached a place in the lower midfield. On June 14, 2019, the board announced his dismissal as a coach. However, he will continue to be available to the club as an ambassador for social projects until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Private

Makélélé has three children, the first from a long marriage to Thandi Ojeer in 2002. In 2004 he began a relationship with the French model Noémie Lenoir , with whom he has had his second child, a son, since 2005. The couple separated in 2009. Lenoir later attempted suicide in Makélélé's apartment with an overdose of alcohol and other drugs . Makélélé then denied that this had anything to do with the separation. His third child was born on December 31, 2010.

In May 2012, Makélélé was charged with domestic violence by his former partner Thandi Ojeer. On September 13, 2012, Makélélé was acquitted in a court in Versailles .
