The 1994 and 1998 World Cup participant , who played in French, Portuguese, Spanish, English and German professional football throughout his career, mostly held the position of creative and attacking midfielder . He was used either directly behind the storm center or as a winger . Hadji, who was named Africa's Footballer of the Year by the African Football Association CAF in 1998, became known to a larger audience, especially through his goal to 1-0 for Morocco in the first group game of the 1998 World Cup against Norway (final score 2-2).
Family and origin

Hadji, who first tried his hand at boxing , began playing football at the age of 14 in the AS Nancy youth division . He left the club before the 1996/97 season for Portugal , where he played for a year and a half for first division club Sporting Lisbon . At the beginning of 1998 he moved to the Spanish team Deportivo La Coruña .
In 1999 he joined the English Premier League club Coventry City , where he replaced Gary McAllister as team captain . At the end of the 2000/01 season, the club was relegated to the second division. In summer 2001 he found an employer in Aston Villa who could guarantee him first division football. After two good years under coach John Gregory , however, he found himself more and more often on the bench or in the stands.
He moved to Espanyol Barcelona in the Spanish Primera División . However, Hadji and the club could not agree on a longer engagement, so he went to the Al Ain Club in the United Arab Emirates.
Before the 2005-06 season, Hadji returned to Europe. The 1. FC Saarbrücken , who played at that time in the 2. Bundesliga, took him into the summer break in 2005, initially for one year under contract. At the request of the then coach Horst Ehrmantraut , Hadji and his compatriot Faysal El Idrissi were to form a midfield duo. On August 4, 2005 Hadji finally came in the first 4-0 lost game of the season against VfL Bochum in the starting lineup. After another defeat, coach Horst Ehrmantraut was dismissed; Rudi Bommer followed interim trainer Fuchs . Meanwhile, 1. FC Saarbrücken was eliminated in the second round of the cup against league rivals SpVgg Unterhaching . Hadji scored the 1-0 lead for Saarbrücken, saw the red card after 85 minutes and was banned from the DFB's sports court for three cup games.
After relegation from the regional league Hadji left the club and went to the Luxembourg first division club CS Fola Esch in 2007 . In 2010 he ended his career.
National team
Hadji was active in the Moroccan national team . At the 1994 World Cup , he and his team were eliminated after three narrow defeats against Belgium , Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands .
In qualifying for the 1998 World Cup , he prepared many goals and scored one himself. At the World Cup tournament in France , he scored a goal in the group game against Norway (2-2). The team was eliminated after the group stage.
After that tournament and the Africa Championship in the same year, he was voted Africa's Footballer of the Year 1998.
