Where are they now? Leeds United’s Champions League semi-final squad of 2001

Olivier Dacourt

Another star to leave Elland Road after a row with then manager Terry Venables.

Dacourt was loaned out to AS Roma during the Yorkshire club’s financial problems in January 2003, before fans were left disgruntled as his move was made permanent in the summer after 79 appearances for The Whites since his arrival from Lens in 2000.

The defensive midfielder starred in Serie A for both Roma and rivals Inter Milan until 2009, including a brief loan spell back in England with Fulham, winning two league titles at the San Siro.

France international Dacourt then opted to join Belgian outfit Standard Liege in September 2009, primarily as cover for the injured Steven Defour, who now plays for Premier League side Burnley.

However; after the fellow midfielder’s return to fitness in the New Year, the club terminated his contract in February 2010 after just eight appearances, which ultimately were his last in the sport.

The ex-Leeds man has since worked for media outlets Eurosport and Canal+ in his homeland.
