Otman Bakkal (born 27 February 1985) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. [2]

Contents

He began his career at PSV, and was loaned to Den Bosch, Eindhoven, Twente and Feyenoord. After making a permanent move to Dynamo Moscow in the summer of 2012, he returned to Feyenoord one year later. [3] A youth international for the Netherlands, he gained one cap for the senior team in 2009.

Club career

Bakkal made his senior debut for PSV during the 2003–04 season in a 3–0 UEFA Cup win over Auxerre. Three days later, on 28 March 2004, he made his league debut and the first senior start of his career in a 3–1 loss against Willem II. He signed a new three-year deal with PSV in May 2004. [4]

Over the next three seasons, Bakkal would not get any playing time at PSV. Instead, he was loaned out to Den Bosch, Eindhoven and Twente. [5] [6] [7]

Following the 2006–07 season, Bakkal re-joined PSV and saw regular first-team action. In November 2010, he was bitten in the shoulder by Luis Suárez during a 0–0 draw against Ajax. That incident caused Suárez to be suspended for seven games. [8]

During the 2010–11 season, Bakkal was loaned to Feyenoord, having lost any expectation of regular playing time with PSV. [9] He displayed impressive form and drew the interest of Premier League side Swansea City. [10] Instead, he joined Russian club Dynamo Moscow for the 2012–13 season. [11]

A year after leaving the Netherlands for Russia, Bakkal returned to the Eredivisie to sign for former loan club Feyenoord, signing a one-year contract running until 30 June 2014. [12] At the end of the 2013–14 season, his contract was subsequently allowed to expire. [13]

In March 2016, Bakkal announced he was not looking for a new club anymore after two years as a free agent, effectively retiring from football. [14]

International career

Bakkal played at the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship and the 2008 Summer Olympics. [15] He made his debut for the senior national side in 2009, after coming on as a substitute for Rafael van der Vaart in a friendly match against Paraguay. [11] He played the final six minutes of the game, and it would remain his only cap, giving him the shortest career in the Netherlands national team ever. [16]
