Encyclopedic overview
Benoît Benjamin Cheyrou (born 3 May 1981) is a French former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder, and often acted as a deep-lying playmaker for the attack. He is the assistant manager of French amateur club La Salesienne de Paris.
He was known for his vision, distribution, and ability to provide assists, and played for France at under-21 level. His older brother is the former French international Bruno Cheyrou, who formerly played for English club Liverpool, and is currently a sports broadcaster. The younger Cheyrou earned his first call up to the national team on 25 February 2010, but unlike his older brother, never made his senior debut for France throughout his playing career.
