Patrice Latyr Evra (French pronunciation: [pa.tʁis e.vʁa]; born 15 May 1981) is a French
professional footballer who most recently played for English club West Ham United and has
represented the France national team. Originally an attacker, he primarily plays as a left-
back.[3] Evra, whom Sir Alex Ferguson praised for his leadership, also describing him as one of the
best left-backs in Europe,[4] has served as captain for both Manchester United and France.[5][6]
The son of a diplomat, Evra was born in Senegal and arrived in Europe when he was a year old. He
was raised in France and began his football career playing for various clubs in the Île-de-
France region such as hometown club CO Les Ulis and CSF Brétigny. In 1997, he had a stint at
professional club Paris Saint-Germain. A year later, Evra seized his first footballing opportunity in
neighbouring Italy when he signed his first professional contract with Marsala in Sicily. He made his
professional debut with the club and, in the ensuing season, joined Monza. After a year playing
with Monza, Evra returned to France to play for Nice. Originally a midfielder, while playing at Nice,
he was converted into a full-back. In 2002, Evra joined Monaco and contributed to the club that won
the Coupe de la Ligue in 2003. He also featured in European competition for the first time in his
career and, in the 2003–04 season, was the starting left-back on the Monaco team that reached
the 2004 UEFA Champions League Final. In that same season domestically, Evra was named
the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year. He was
also named to the organisation's Ligue 1 Team of the Year.
Evra's performances with Monaco culminated into a move to English club Manchester United in
January 2006. While playing for Manchester United, Evra won a slew of trophies, including
the League Cup in his debut season at the club. In his second season, he eclipsed
compatriot Mikaël Silvestre and Gabriel Heinze as first-choice left-back and has since won
five Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League title, one FIFA Club World Cup, three
League Cups and four Community Shield titles. Evra has been named to the Professional
Footballers' Association (PFA) Team of the Year on three occasions. For his performances during
the 2008–09 season, he was named to both the FIFPro World XI and the UEFA Team of the Year.
After joining Italian side Juventus in 2014, he immediately helped the club to a domestic double and
the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final, and won a second domestic double and the Supercoppa
Italiana the following season, before moving to Marseille in January 2017.
Evra is also a France international. Prior to playing at senior level, he played at under-21 level. He
made his senior international debut in August 2004 in a friendly match against Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Evra has participated in five major international tournaments for France:
the 2008, 2012 and 2016 editions of the UEFA European Championship, winning a runners-up
medal at Euro 2016; and both the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. Ahead of the 2010 World Cup,
Evra was named captain of the national team by manager Raymond Domenech and bore the
armband for the first time in the team's friendly match against Costa Rica in May 2010. At the
tournament, he appeared in two group stage matches, although France endured a disastrous
campaign which saw the players go on strike after a first round elimination. The incident resulted in
Evra, for his role as captain, being suspended from national team duty for five matches. However, he
returned to the squad and enjoyed a successful 2014 World Cup in Brazil under Didier
Deschamps as France reached the quarter-finals.

Club career[edit]
Early career[edit]
"To this day it is the best feeling I have had in football. Not winning the championship or the Champions League but
that moment, when I was 17 years old, and I had finally become a professional footballer."
Evra, on the moment he became a professional footballer.[7]
Evra began his football career playing for hometown club CO Les Ulis. After playing in the streets for
years, he was brought to the club by friend Tshymen Buhanga, who informed the club coach, "I bring
you the new Romário."[8] Evra spent one year at the club under the watch of coach Jean-Claude
Giordanella, who later became vice-president of the club. Giordanella described the player as "more
quiet, almost shy. He was a good kid".[9] Evra originally played football in the striker position and,
while training at Les Ulis, underwent trials with professional clubs Rennes and Lens. Following the
conclusion of the evaluations, Evra was rejected primarily due to his size.[9] In 1993, he joined
amateur club CSF Brétigny based in nearby Brétigny-sur-Orge. Similar to his stint with Les Ulis, Evra
went on trials with several clubs, most notably Toulouse and Paris Saint-Germain.[8] He was
ultimately signed by the latter and converted into a winger.[10] Evra trained at the Camp des Loges for
a few months, but was later released.[11]
After failing to convince PSG officials of his ability as a footballer, Evra returned to Brétigny and was
invited by a friend to participate in an indoor five-a-side football tournament organised by the Juvisy-
sur-Orge sports center.[12] While playing, he was spotted by an Italian scout who offered him the
opportunity to attend a trial with professional club Torino.[7] Evra spent ten days training with the club
and, after the trial, was offered a place on the club's youth team. Afterwards, he was approached
by Serie C1 club Marsala, whose officials enticed him with the prospect of becoming a professional.
Evra chose the latter option and signed his first professional contract at age 17. He described the
moment as "the best feeling I have had in football".[7] Evra spent only one season with the club,
appearing in 27 total matches and scoring six goals.[12] After this, he moved to the Serie B level to
join Monza for a €250,000 transfer fee after potential moves to Serie A clubs Roma and Lazio fell-
through.[12][13] Evra only appeared in three matches, making his debut on 29 August 1999 in a 2–1
away defeat against Alzano.[14] He left the club following one season after becoming frustrated with
his lack of appearances.[12]
Nice[edit]
Evra returned to France joining professional club Nice in Ligue 2, the second division of French
football. He spent the majority of his first season with the club playing with its reserve team in
the Championnat de France amateur, the fourth level of French football. He primarily played as a
midfielder on the team and appeared in 18 matches, scoring one goal.[15] Midway through the
campaign, he was called into the first team by manager Sandro Salvioni. He was assigned the
number 26 shirt and made his club debut on 7 October 2000 in the team's 7–2 defeat
to Châteauroux, starting in the left winger position.[16] Evra made four more appearances during the
campaign, appearing as a substitute in defeats to Cannes, Nancy and starting in the team's 3–0 win
over Laval and 1–0 loss to Le Havre in the final match of the season.[17][18][19][20] Evra played primarily
as centre forward in the matches.[21]
In the 2001–02 season, Evra switched to the number 17 shirt and was promoted to the first team on
a permanent basis.[22] In the team's first league match of the season against Laval, he started in the
team's 2–1 win.[23] Towards the end of the match, reserve left-back Jean-Charles Cirilli, who was
starting in place of the regular starter José Cobos, suffered an injury, which required the player to be
substituted out.[23] As a consequence, Evra dropped back into the role and played out the rest of the
match in the position.[12]Following the match, due to injuries to both Cobos and Cirilli, Evra was
informed by Salvioni he would take over the position. The young player disagreed with the
manager's decision, declaring he was a forward, however after Salvioni informed him, "If you want to
be in the team you play there," Evra agreed to fill the role.[7] Evra made his debut in the position in
the team's following league match against Strasbourg, a 3–0 defeat.[24] He appeared regularly in the
campaign and, following the return of Cobos, was even allowed to play in his preferred left wing
role.[nb 1] With the club in the midst of a promotion battle, Evra scored his first and only goal for Nice in
his last match with the club, a 4–3 win over Laval.[32] The victory placed Nice in third place, which
resulted in the club earning promotion to Ligue 1 for the first time since 1997. For his performances,
Evra was named to the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) Ligue 2 Team of the
Year in the left-back position.[7]
Monaco[edit]
Didier Deschamps coached Evra during his four-year stint with Monaco.
Following the season, Evra was recruited by Nice's Derby de la Côte d'Azur rivals Monaco. Despite
wanting to play as a left winger again, Evra was advised by manager Didier Deschamps he would
only play as a left-back.[7] Evra has since credited Deschamps for allowing him to become a better
defender after initially describing the role as being not fun.[33] Evra was inserted into a back four that
consisted of centre-backs Rafael Márquez and Sébastien Squillaci and right-back Franck Jurietti.
Evra was assigned the number 3 shirt and made his debut for the club in the opening match of
the 2002–03 season against Troyes. He played the entire match in a 4–0 win.[34] On 28 September,
Evra scored his first goal for the club, scoring the match-winner in a 2–1 victory against
Rennes.[35] On 22 March 2003, he scored his second goal of the season in a 3–0 away win over Le
Havre.[36] The victory allowed Monaco to maintain its position at the top of the table, as the club was
in a three-way battle with Lyon and Marseille.[37] Monaco climatically conceded first place to Lyon in
May, which resulted in Lyon being declared champions for the second time in its history.[38] Monaco
finished the campaign in second place, which merited the club an appearance in the UEFA
Champions League.[39] The club was also rewarded domestically for its performance in the Coupe de
la Ligue where it reached the final. Evra featured in the team's 4–1 win over Sochaux in the
match.[40] The league cup title gave Evra the first major honour of his career.
After the season, Márquez and Jurietti departed Monaco for Spanish
club Barcelona and Bordeaux respectively, and were replaced by Gaël Givet and Hugo Ibarra, the
latter joining the club on loan. In the 2003–04 league season, Deschamps installed Evra as a vice-
captain and he responded by appearing in 33 matches and providing four assists.[22][41] Monaco spent
six months from September to March in first place, but, like last season, conceded the top spot to
Lyon as the season wore on.[39] Evra made his UEFA Champions League debut on 17 September
2003 in the team's opening group stage match against PSV. Evra played the entire match in a 2–1
win.[42] He appeared in all six group stage matches as Monaco finished in first place.[nb 2][48] For his
performances in the first half of the 2003–04 season, Evra was linked with a 2004 winter move to
English club Arsenal, Italian clubs Juventus and Milan, and Spanish club Barcelona.[49]
After appearing consistently with the team, on 24 March 2004, Evra suffered an ankle injury in the
club's 4–2 first leg defeat to Spanish club Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions
League.[50][51] Evra subsequently missed two weeks in the league, but was healthy enough to return
for the team's second leg quarter-final tie against Madrid, which Monaco won 3–1.[nb 3][54] The win
allowed the club advancement to the Champions League semi-finals on the away goals rule.[54] In the
semi-finals, Monaco faced English club Chelsea. Evra appeared in both matches as Monaco
advanced to the final, beating the London club 5–3 on aggregate.[55][56] In the 2004 UEFA Champions
League Final, Monaco were pitted against Porto at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen,
Germany. The club was defeated 3–0 by Porto. Evra played the full 90 minutes.[57][58] After the
season, Evra was given the UNFP Young Player of the Year award, becoming only the second
defender and the first since 1997 (Philippe Christanval) to win the award.[59] He was also named to
the organisation's Ligue 1 Team of the Year.[60]
Despite missing out on playing in UEFA Euro 2004, Evra endured a tumultuous summer in which the
player was linked with moves with Manchester United in England, and Juventus
and Internazionale in Italy.[61][62][63] Despite offers, Evra remained at Monaco. On 24 September 2004,
he signed a one-year contract extension with the club until 2008.[64] In the season, Evra was a regular
appearing in a career-high 52 matches scoring one goal and assisting on seven as Monaco reached
the semi-finals in both the Coupe de la Ligue and Coupe de France.[39] Evra scored his only goal of
the season on 8 January 2005 in the team's round of 64 Coupe de France match against amateur
club AC Seyssinet-Pariset. He netted the opener in a 7–0 win.[65] In the Champions League, Monaco
reached the first knockout round, where they suffered defeat to PSV 3–0 on aggregate.[66][67] Evra
appeared in nine of the ten matches the team contested in the competition.[22] In April 2005, Evra
confirmed he was interested in departing the club, stating, "I will have a decision to make for the rest
of my career... If attracted clubs show concrete interest, I will think about it seriously."[68] Despite
several clubs declaring interest in Evra, Deschamps declared he would not be sold. At the start of
the 2005–06 season, Monaco struggled falling to 15th place after only a month of play. On 21
December 2005, Evra made his final appearance with the club in a 1–0 win over Lille in the Coupe
de la Ligue.[69]
Manchester United[edit]
2006–2008[edit]
Evra comes off the pitch after a match versus Arsenal
On 27 December, French sources revealed that Manchester United was interested in signing
Evra.[70] Despite rumours of Monaco reaching a transfer agreement with Internazionale, on 3 January
2006, Evra revealed he preferred to move to England to join Manchester United.[71] The following
day, Manchester United officially issued a transfer bid for the player.[72] On 6 January, United
manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed a deal for Evra was reached.[73] Four days later, the transfer
was official as Evra joined the club for a transfer fee of around £5.5 million and signed a three-and-a-
half-year contract.[74][75] Evra's arrival signalled Ferguson's intention to shore up the club's defence
that had suffered since the sidelining of Gabriel Heinze.[73] After joining the club, Evra affirmed
that Manchester was his only future destination: "I was not very keen to go forward in the talks with
Arsenal, Liverpool or Real Madrid. They all talked with my agent in the past two seasons. But to me,
it was over. As I said to the Monaco officials, I only wanted to hear about Manchester."[76]
Evra initially had some problems adapting to the English game. He made his debut for the club on
14 January in a 3–1 away defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League.[77] He was substituted
out at half-time after failing to make an impact.[12][78] After the conclusion of the match, Ferguson
stated, "Maybe it was a bit of a gamble playing Evra," while the player himself admitted that "playing
for Manchester United was something I was not prepared for".[7][79] Despite the initial set-back, Evra
started in the team's ensuing match against Liverpool, a 1–0 victory, and was praised for his
performance by teammate Rio Ferdinand.[80][81] On 26 February, Evra appeared as a substitute in
United's 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic in the 2006 League Cup final.[82] On 2 March, it was reported
that Liverpool defender Steve Finnan had racially abused Evra in the match. The abuse claims
surfaced from two deaf television viewers lodging a police complaint. The viewers claimed to have
lip-read Finnan abusing Evra during the televised match.[83] Finnan denied the charge and, after an
investigation, The Football Association (FA) decided against charging the player.[84] Evra regularly
alternated between the bench and the starting 11 to close out the campaign. He finished the season
with 14 total appearances for his new club.[85]
In Evra's first full season as a Manchester United player, he struggled to consistently appear as a
starter early on in the season as Ferguson preferred Evra's compatriot Mikaël Silvestre.[86] After
appearing as an unused substitute in United's first two Champions League matches, on 17 October
2006, Evra made his European debut for the club in its 3–0 group stage win over Copenhagen.[87] On
18 November, he provided the assist for the game-winning goal, scored by Wayne Rooney, in the
team's 2–1 win over Sheffield United.[88] Eight days later, Evra scored his first goal for the club in a 3–
0 league win over Everton. He also assisted on a goal in the match.[89] By December, Evra began
featuring as a regular in the starting 11. After starting in United's 3–1 Champions League win
over Benfica on 6 December, Evra started nine consecutive matches.[3][90] Evra provided assists in
two of the matches; a Rooney goal in a 2–1 away defeat to Arsenal and another in a 2–0 victory
over Charlton Athletic.[91][92] On 10 April 2007, Evra scored the final goal in a 7–1 win over Roma in
the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League.[93] The goal was his
first-ever in the Champions League and helped progress Manchester United to the semi-finals,
where the club suffered defeat to the eventual champions Milan.[94][95][96] Following the league season,
which Manchester United won by a six-point margin, Evra was named to the Professional
Footballers' Association (PFA) Team of the Year, despite only appearing in 24 league matches.[97]
Evra began the 2007–08 season as the first-choice left-back.[98] He began the campaign appearing in
United's 3–0 penalty shoot-out win over rivals Chelsea in the 2007 FA Community Shield.[99] In
competitive matches, Evra appeared in the club's first 12 matches.[3] He missed his first match of the
season against Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League after suffering a calf injury
during warm-ups.[100] Evra returned to the team a few days later for the team's league match against
Arsenal. The rest paid off as he assisted on a Cristiano Ronaldo goal in the 82nd minute to give
United a 2–1 lead. France teammate William Gallas later equalised for Arsenal to draw the match at
2–2.[101]In the return match against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League, Evra provided the assist
for one of the goals in a 4–0 victory.[102] Though he made 48 appearances in all competitions, Evra
failed to score a goal.[85] Manchester United clinched its second consecutive Premier League title on
the final day, edging Chelsea by two points.[103] The club later completed the double after defeating
the same club on penalties in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final.[104] Evra made ten
appearances in the competition, which included playing the entire 120 minutes in the final.[22][104] After
the season, on 12 June, he signed a four-year contract extension with Manchester United, a deal
that was set to keep him at Old Trafford until 2012.[105][106]
2008–2014[edit]

Prior to the start of the 2008–09 season, on 18 July 2008, Evra was charged with four separate
counts of improper conduct by the FA.[107]The charges were related to an incident that occurred
during the 2007–08 season when Evra had an altercation with a Chelsea groundsman during a
warm-down following a match on 26 April. The defender denied the charges and was supported by
several members of the club's staff, who commented that the player was racially abused by the
groundsman prior to the confrontation.[108][109]Evra remained free to play for United up to the date of
the hearing despite the charges being made in July 2008. He began the campaign in similar fashion
to last season as Manchester United won the Community Shield following the team's 3–0 victory
over Portsmouth on penalties.[110] Evra was ever-present in Manchester United's first 22 competitive
matches of the season, starting 19 of them.[3] At the hearing on 5 December, Evra was found guilty of
improper conduct, and handed a four-match ban – due to start on 22 December 2008 – and a
£15,000 fine.[111]

Despite the suspension, Evra still featured with Manchester United in December as the club
participated in the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup. He appeared in both matches the team contested as
United came out as champions after defeating Ecuadorian club LDU Quito in the final.[112][113] Evra
temporarily returned to the team domestically for its home match, coincidentally, against Chelsea on
11 January 2009. In the match, Evra assisted on the second goal in a 3–0 victory.[114] He was later
forced to leave the match due to a foot injury, which was later discovered to be serious. Evra missed
a month and returned to the line-up on 15 February in a 3–0 win over Fulham.[115] Evra subsequently
appeared in every remaining competitive match for United, excluding an April league match
against Sunderland, as the club cruised to its third consecutive Premier League title, won
the League Cup, and reached the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final after defeating league rivals
Arsenal 4–1 on aggregate in the semi-finals.[3][116][117][118] Following the second leg against Arsenal,
Evra was asked his opinion of the team's 3–1 second leg victory, and declared, "It was 11 men
against 11 babies. We never doubted ourselves."[119] The final marked Evra's third appearance in
Champions League finals as Manchester United lost 2–0 to Barcelona.[120] At the end of the season,
Evra was included in the PFA Team of the Year for the second time.[121]
For the first time in his career, Evra appeared in all 38 league matches in the 2009–10
season.[22] The campaign initially began badly for him after he delivered a soft penalty shot,
described by some in the media as "awful", in the team's penalty shoot-out defeat to Chelsea in
the 2009 FA Community Shield.[122] Due to injuries to Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs,
he captained the team in several matches during the season wearing the armband for the first time
in his Manchester United career in the team's 3–1 Champions League victory over VfL
Wolfsburg.[123][124] In December 2009, Evra was among three Manchester United players named to
the FIFPro World XI for the 2009 calendar year,[125] before being named to the UEFA Team of the
Year in January 2010.[126] On 28 February 2010, Evra captained Manchester United to a 2–1 win
against Aston Villa in the 2010 League Cup final.[127][128]The league cup title was Evra's fourth overall
as well as his first title earned as a captain. He also became only the second Frenchman after Eric
Cantona to captain a Manchester United team to victory in a major competition.[127] In league play,
Manchester United failed to win its fourth-straight league title, conceding the honour to
Chelsea.[129] The club also failed to reach the Champions League final for their third-straight final
appearance, losing to German champions Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.[130]
Evra playing in the 2011 MLS All-Star Game
Early on during the 2010–11 season, Evra was hampered by constant inquiries about what
happened at the 2010 FIFA World Cup from the French Football Federation (FFF), the French
media, as well as the French government.[131][132][133] Evra's contract with Manchester United was also
up at the end of the 2011–12 season, which led to the player being linked with a move to Real
Madrid.[134][135] Evra's hearing with the FFF in Paris, which he attended, was held the day after the
team's opening 3–0 league win over Newcastle United.[136] Evra played over 85 minutes in the
match.[137] On 20 November, Evra scored his second Premier League goal in a 2–0 win at home
against Wigan Athletic.[138] On 21 February 2011, after weeks of negotiations, Evra signed a contract
extension with Manchester United that would keep him with the club until at least the end of the
2013–14 season.[139][140] Two days after signing his contract extension, Evra participated in United's
0–0 draw with Marseille in the first leg of the team's first knockout round tie in the Champions
League.[141] The match, played at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, was Evra's first match played in
France since the 2010 World Cup debacle. As a consequence, he was subjected to a barrage of
jeers and boos every time he touched the ball.[142]
At the start of the 2011–12 season, Evra helped United win the 2011 Community Shield against
Manchester City on 7 August. Despite being caught out in the first half by a header from Joleon
Lescott and a long-range Edin Džeko strike that put City into a 2–0 lead, United rallied in the second
half and won 3–2 to claim the Shield.[143] On 15 October, Evra captained Manchester United in the
club's 1–1 draw away to Liverpool.[144] Following the match, in an interview with French television
channel Canal+, Evra asserted that Liverpool player Luis Suárez had racially abused him multiple
times during the match.[145] He also stated that he had informed referee Andre Marriner of the
incidents at the conclusion of the match. The following day, the FA announced it would investigate
the claim,[146] and on 17 November, the FA announced it would charge Suárez with "abusive and/or
insulting words and/or behaviour contrary to FA rules", including "a reference to the ethnic origin
and/or colour and/or race of Patrice Evra".[147]
During the 2012–13 season, despite being just 174 cm (5 ft 9 in) tall, Evra built up a reputation as an
attacking threat at corners, doubling his goals tally from his previous seven years at the club with
three headed goals from corners in the space of 13 games, against Newcastle United, Arsenal
and Swansea City.[148] He continued this run into the 2013–14 season, heading home against Cardiff
City on 24 November 2013.[149] In addition to the headers, Evra has also scored twice from open play
since the start of the 2012–13 season, the first a low drive from just outside the penalty area against
Newcastle on Boxing Day 2012,[150] and the second a curling, right-footed effort against Stoke City in
the fifth round of the League Cup almost a year later.[151] On 23 May 2014, Evra signed a new one-
year contract extension that would have kept him at Manchester United until at least the summer of
2015.[152]
Juventus[edit]

On 21 July 2014, Evra joined Italian Serie A club Juventus on a two-year contract. The fee was
£1.2 million, which rose to £1.5 million, after Juventus qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions
League.[153][154] On 14 December 2014, he scored his first goal for the club, opening the scoring of a
1–1 home draw to Sampdoria. On 6 June 2015, Evra started for Juventus in the 2015 UEFA
Champions League final as Juventus were defeated 3–1 by Barcelona
at Berlin's Olympiastadion.[155] The match was the fifth Champions League final in which he had
appeared, and the defeat meant he became the first player to lose four Champions League finals.[156]
Evra made his 100th UEFA Champions League appearance in a 1–0 home win over Manchester
City on 25 November 2015, becoming the second French player to do so after Thierry
Henry.[157] Evra scored a goal in the last match of the 2015–16 Serie A season on 14 May 2016, in a
5–0 home win over Sampdoria, as Juventus celebrated winning the league title for a fifth
consecutive time since the 2011–12 season.[158][159] On 6 June 2016, Evra signed a one-year contract
extension with Juventus; the deal included an option for a further extension of one year.[160]
Marseille[edit]
On 25 January 2017, Evra joined Marseille on a free transfer, signing an 18-month contract with the
club.[161][162] In warm-ups preceding a Europa League match on 2 November 2017, Evra was sent off
for kicking a spectating Marseille fan in the head, who was reportedly "ridiculing" him as he trained.
Marseille coach Rudi Garcia was critical of the fans, but also criticized Evra for reacting to the
provocation.[163][164] On 3 November, the day after Evra's altercation with a fan, he was suspended
from playing indefinitely by Marseille, pending an interview with the player regarding his conduct and
further investigation before any other sanctions are imposed on him. Marseille released a statement
concerning the incident, condemning Evra's actions. He has also received a charge of violent
conduct from UEFA as a consequence.[165] Evra also received a UEFA ban that made him ineligible
to play in any UEFA competitions until June 2018. Marseille subsequently terminated Evra's contract
with immediate effect.[166]
West Ham United[edit]
On 7 February 2018, West Ham United signed Evra on a free transfer. He signed a contract until the
end of June 2018.[167] On 24 February 2018, he made his club debut against Liverpool.[168] Evra
departed West Ham United when his contract expired at the end of the season, having made 5
appearances for the club.[169]
International career[edit]
Under-21s[edit]
Evra is a former French youth international having played for the under-21 team. Due to harboring in
Italy during his development years, he failed to earn call-ups with teams below the under-21 level.
Evra earned his first call-up to the under-21 team under coach Raymond Domenech on 3 October
2002 for matches against Slovenia and Malta.[170] He made his under-21 debut in the match against
Slovenia as France cruised to a 1–0 victory.[171] Evra was forced to miss the match against Malta
after suffering an injury in the win over Slovenia.[172] The defender regularly appeared for the team
through 2002–2004 as France attempted to qualify for both the 2004 UEFA European Under-21
Football Championship and the football tournament at the 2004 Summer Olympics. France failed to
qualify for both competitions, which resulted in the end of Evra's youth career.
Senior team[edit]
Early years[edit]
Evra earned his first call-up to the senior national team in May 2004 after coach Jacques
Santini named him to the 31-man preliminary squad to participate in UEFA Euro 2004. Following the
trimming of the squad to 23 players, Evra was not included and subsequently missed out on the
competition.[61] Following the European Championship, with former under-21 coach Domenech now
coaching the team, Evra was called up to the senior team for its friendly against Bosnia and
Herzegovina on 18 August 2004. The defender admitted that he was "very proud" to have been
called up to the team.[173] Evra made his senior international debut in the match against Bosnia and
Herzegovina. He started on the left wing before being substituted out in the 75th minute for Robert
Pires. The match ended in a 1–1 draw.[174] Due to an injury to starter Eric Abidal, Evra supplanted
him and appeared as the starting left-back in France's first two 2006 FIFA World Cup
qualification matches.[175][176] After being called-up for the team's March 2005 friendly
against Switzerland, Evra was forced to withdraw from the team due to injury.[177] As a result, William
Gallas was inserted in the role as a makeshift left-back.[12] Following Abidal's return from injury and,
due to Domenech preferring Mikaël Silvestre as the incumbent's back-up, Evra went without a call-
up for almost two years and, consequently, missed the 2006 World Cup. In October 2007, the
defender explained to L'Équipe that the World Cup snub "gave me my determination".[178]
Euro 2008[edit]
Evra returned to the team in November 2006 for the team's friendly match against Greece. He
appeared as a half-time substitute for Abidal as France won the match 1–0.[179]After going another
year without representing France, Evra began appearing as a regular under Domenech in 2007. On
28 May 2008, he was included in the squad to participate in UEFA Euro 2008.[180] He was initially
placed onto the squad to serve as back-up to Abidal, however after failing to appear in the team's
opening 0–0 draw with Romania, there were calls from the French media urging Domenech to insert
Evra into the starting line-up at the behest of Abidal.[181][182][183] Domenech relented and started Evra in
the team's next match against the Netherlands, which ended in a 4–1 defeat.[184][185] In the must-win
final group stage match against Italy, Evra started his second consecutive match, but France lost 2–
0 and were eliminated from the competition in the first round.[186] Following the match, cameras
witnessed Evra and teammates Patrick Vieira and Abidal getting into an altercation in the tunnel.
Vieira later stated the video was shot after he got into an argument with a set of French
supporters.[187] A day after the team's elimination, Evra admitted his frustration to L'Équipe, stating, "I
am someone who does not like losing but I'm not going to make excuses. We had three games in
this Euro, we have not won one. It's even hard to believe, to say it's over now."[188]
2010 World Cup and exclusion[edit]
"Tonight it's time for the big apology towards the thousands of French people, because I share the pain of all these
French people. What hurts even more is that this apology should have been made yesterday, but my coach stopped
me doing it as a captain, and that hurts even more. But it won't change anything, now is not the time to settle scores. I
have nothing to hide. The French team doesn't belong to anyone, it belongs to all of these French people. People
need to know the truth, the causes of this enormous disaster."
Evra, commenting following France's elimination from the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[189]
After Euro 2008, defensive stalwart Lilian Thuram retired from the team. To mitigate his absence,
Domenech moved Abidal into the centre-back position, allowing Evra to take over as starting left-
back. In the team's first competitive match since Euro 2008, against Austria, Evra provided the assist
for France's only goal scored by Sidney Govou in a surprising 3–1 defeat.[190] During the 2010 FIFA
World Cup qualification campaign, Evra participated in ten of the team's 12 matches, which included
both legs in the team's playoff round win over the Republic of Ireland.[191] On 26 May 2010,
Evra captained the national team for the first time in a friendly match against Costa Rica; France
won the match 2–1.[192] He was subsequently named the captain for the 2010 World Cup ahead of
Thierry Henry, who was relegated to the bench for the tournament.[193] Evra wore the armband in the
team's first two matches, a 0–0 draw with Uruguay and a 2–0 loss to Mexico.[194][195] On 19 June,
striker Nicolas Anelka was dismissed from the squad after reportedly having a dispute, in which
obscenities were passed, with Domenech during half-time of the team's loss to Mexico.[196] The
resulting disagreement over Anelka's exclusion between the players, the coaching staff and France
Football Federation (FFF) officials resulted in Evra leading a player protest against the decision on
20 June, in which the players refused to train.[197][198][199] Prior to leading the revolt, Evra had got into a
verbal argument with national team fitness coach Robert Duverne.[200] The strike was denounced by
the FFF as well as French government officials.[201] The following day, the players returned to training
without incident.[202] As a result of the mutiny, Evra was stripped of the captaincy and benched for the
team's final group stage match against hosts South Africa.[203] France lost 2–1 and were eliminated
from the competition.[204]
Following the competition, former national team captain Lilian Thuram stated that Evra should be
banned permanently from playing for the national team.[205] His sentiments were later echoed by
Sports Minister Chantal Jouanno, who declared, "I have nothing against Evra but, as a France player
and especially captain, he did not defend the values of sport which are shared by the Republic. I am
sure there exist other talents who have not sullied France and are waiting for/ the chance to write
new history".[206] On 6 August, Evra was one of five players summoned to attend a hearing held by
the Disciplinary Committee of the FFF in response to the team's strike at the World Cup.[207] On 17
August, he received a five-match international ban for his part in the incident.[136][208]
Return to the national team and Euro 2012[edit]
Evra in action for France in their Euro 2012 group stage match against England on 11 June
As a result of being captain, Evra bore the brunt of the criticism. However, despite the public ridicule,
Evra maintained his stance regarding his future with the national team, stating, "I can’t see my future
without the France team."[209][210] On 17 March 2011, he was called up to the national team by new
manager Laurent Blanc for the first time since the 2010 World Cup.[211] He had been eligible to return
to the team since the previous month after serving his five-match suspension, however he was not
called up to the team by Blanc, with the manager citing "sporting reasons" as the reason.[212] Evra
made his return to the team on 25 March in the team's Euro 2012 qualifying match
against Luxembourg. He started the match and played the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 win.[213] Four days
later, Evra appeared on the bench in his first match at the Stade de France since the World Cup,
against Croatia.[214] After appearing regularly in qualifying for Euro 2012, on 29 May 2012, he was
named to the 23-man squad to participate in the finals of the competition.[215] France were eliminated
in the quarter-finals following a 2–0 defeat against eventual champions Spain.[216]
2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 runners-up[edit]
Evra played four of France's five matches at the 2014 World Cup, in which they were eliminated in
the quarter-finals by the eventual champions Germany.[154]
In May 2016, Evra was named to national team manager Didier Deschamps's 23-man France squad
for Euro 2016, to be played on home soil.[217] On 10 June, he was later included in the starting line-up
for France's opening match of the tournament against Romania, playing the entire 90 minutes of the
fixture. With France leading 1–0, Evra fouled Nicușor Stanciu in the penalty box; Bogdan
Stancu scored the resulting penalty in the 65th minute. The hosts eventually won the match 2–1,
although Evra was later criticised for his performance.[218] In the semi-final against Germany on 7
July, Evra drew praise from the media as he helped win a penalty for his team and produced a
strong defensive performance to help France keep a clean-sheet and defeat the reigning world
champions 2–0 to advance to the final of the competition. Following the victory, he was also lauded
for his leadership and his role in using his experience to unite the team.[219][220] In the final, France
suffered a 1–0 extra-time defeat to Portugal.[221]
Style of play[edit]
Regarded as one of the best players in the world in his position during his prime,[4][222] Evra is a fast,
energetic and athletic left-back, who, despite his size, is physically strong, and good in the air, which
also allows him to be deployed as a centre-back on occasion; in addition to his physical attributes,
he is also comfortable on the ball and adept at getting into attacking positions as a wing-back, where
he can deliver crosses to teammates, having functioned as a winger earlier on in his
career.[223][224][225][226][227][228][229] An aggressive, tactically intelligent, versatile and hard-working player, he
is also renowned for his leadership and tenacity on the pitch.[225][230][231] These attributes make him
effective both offensively and defensively.[223]
Personal life[edit]
Evra was born in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal, to a father of Guinean descent and Juliette, a
Cape Verdean mother.[232][233][234] He is one of a total of 25 children,[223]although two are now
deceased.[235] Evra's father was a diplomat and, when Evra was a year old, moved to Brussels in
Belgium to work at the Senegalese embassy.[234][8] After over two years living in Belgium, when Evra
was three, the family moved to France and settled in Les Ulis, a commune south of Paris. The family
first settled in the local Bergeries neighbourhood before moving to the Hautes Plaines quarter shortly
after.[8] Evra was raised on Senegalese culture and values that quickly became "Westernised". At
age 10, he returned to Senegal for a short period, describing the return as "not a good experience"
primarily because he ventured back to the country to undergo circumcision.[233] He had not returned
to the country as of 2011.[233] Ahead of the 2010 World Cup, Evra revealed he had suffered racial
abuse from supporters of the Senegal national team for choosing to represent France internationally
over his country of birth.[236] Evra is allergic to eggs, a condition which he did not discover until an
examination by Juventus.[237]
Evra developed an interest in football at a young age and was fascinated by the play of former
Brazilian international Romário, though he never really had an idol.[7] He also earned good marks in
school.[8] Evra is married to Sandra with whom he has a son, Lenny and a daughter, Maona.[238][239] He
speaks five languages: his native French, English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.[240] He also
attempted to learn Korean in order to better communicate with Park Ji-sung, his former South
Korean teammate at Manchester United.[7]
Evra participated in the Shoot for Love Challenge raising vital funds for children suffering from
cancer, organised by the Guus Hiddink Foundation.[241]
In March 2019, Evra denied making homophobic comments against PSG.[242]
