Victor Okechukwu Agali (born December 29, 1978 in Lagos ) is a retired Nigerian soccer player .

Career

At the age of 17, Victor Agali was the top scorer in the Nigerian second division, and in 1996 he moved to France. The first season he was under contract with Olympique Marseille and played five games, in the following season he played 38 times in Ligue 2 for Sporting Toulon .

At the beginning of the 1998/99 season, Agali moved on to Germany in the Bundesliga and signed a five-year contract with FC Hansa Rostock ; the transfer fee was 250,000 euros. Agali played three seasons in Rostock, played 66 games and scored 17 goals. In 2001 he moved to FC Schalke 04 for 5.1 million euros , the highest transfer fee for Rostock to date. He celebrated his greatest success at Schalke by winning the DFB Cup in 2002 and scored a goal in the final against Bayer 04 Leverkusen (4-2). In April 2004, FC Schalke 04 terminated Agalis' contract because of alleged misconduct during rehabilitation.

In the summer of 2004, Agali then signed a contract with OGC Nice , which he held with six goals in 30 appearances in Ligue 1 . Agali, who was still in negotiations with Nice, had also negotiated a possible return with Hansa Rostock, because of which he was subsequently accused of having only led them to get Nice to pay higher salaries. In the 2005/06 season Agali played for the Turkish first division club Kayseri Erciyesspor , at the beginning of the following season he moved to MKE Ankaragücü , where his contract was dissolved in February 2007 because of allegedly no salary payments. After successful trial training in August 2007, Agali played again for Hansa Rostock, where he signed a contract until the end of the 2007/08 season . With a goal in 23 games, however, he could not prevent the relegation of Mecklenburg to the second division, so that both sides of the contract waived an extension of the contract.

For the 2008/09 season he moved to Skoda Xanthi in Greece, where he signed a contract until 2011. Nevertheless, he left the table seventh after just one season, for which he scored five goals in 23 games - which accounted for 20 percent of the team's total yield - for Cyprus, where he signed on with Anorthosis Famagusta . After only two appearances in qualifying for the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League , the trained striker was transferred to Levadiakos , another club from Greece. In the summer of 2010, the 31-year-old left the Greeks and moved to China for the Chinese first division club Jiangsu Sainty . He played there until the end of the year and then ended his career.

Agali completed 12 international matches for the Nigerian national soccer team and scored five goals. Although he was Nigeria's top scorer in World Cup qualification, he was surprisingly not nominated for the 2002 World Cup , which was the biggest disappointment of his career for Agali, after which he also announced his retirement from the national team. After discussions with the Nigerian association, however, Agali revised this decision in 2004 and then took part in the 2004 Africa Cup in Tunisia .
