"="">"="">Mumbai City have today confirmed the arrival of midfielder Ahmed
Jahouh. The 32-year-old Moroccan joins the Club after putting pen to paper on a
two-year contract with the Islanders.
"="">"="">
"="">"="">A native of Al Araoui in Morocco, Jahouh started his career with
Ittihad Khemisset before moving to Moghreb Tétouan in 2010. Jahouh plied his
trade at Moghreb for five seasons winning two league titles in the process, and
featured in his last season at the club under then coach Sergio Lobera and with
teammate Mourtada Fall. Jahouh would go on to feature for Raja Casablanca and
FUS Rabat, both in Morocco.
"="">"="">
"="">"="">In 2017, Jahouh reunited with Lobera in India at FC Goa. The
Moroccan was pivotal to Sergio Lobera’s set up and became a key fixture for the
Goan side over the next three seasons, making 56 league appearances and winning
the 2019/20 ISL League Shield and the 2019 Super Cup.

Ahmed Jahouh"=""> said:
"="">"="">
"="">"="">“It is an honour to be here at Mumbai City among some of the best
players in the country. I have spent three years in India and I believe that I
have a lot left to achieve. When I spoke to the management here at Mumbai City
about the targets and the vision they have, I was convinced that this Club is
where I wanted to be. And of course, a chance to reunite once again with coach
Sergio Lobera was too good to pass up.”
"="">"="">
"="">"="">“We have set high expectations for ourselves and so have our fans.
They may not be with us here in Goa but we will be thinking of them and
hopefully, we’ll have something to celebrate together at the end of the season.”
"="">"="">

Head coach Sergio Lobera said:
“Ahmed is, and I’ve said this before, someone who can control the game. He is
an exceptional player and having worked with Ahmed before, I know he can make a
difference. He is has the experience to help us in the games and he can help
bring the best out of those around him as well. Ahmed will fit in perfectly
with the extremely talented squad we are building here and I am happy to have
him at Mumbai City.”"="">"="">
