Nabil Dirar (Arabic: نبيل درار; born 25 February 1986) is a Moroccan former professional footballer who plays as a winger.[1][2][3] Dirar retired in July 2023.[4]

Club career

Early career

Born in Casablanca, Dirar moved to Belgium in his early teens[5] and began his career at RWD Molenbeek and Saint-Gilloise before moving to Diegem Sport in 2004, where he began his professional career. During his two-year stay, he scored 2 goals in 26 appearances.[6]

Dirar's performances drew the attention of many clubs, including Westerlo, which won the race against other clubs to sign him, contracting him for three years effective 1 July 2006.[7]

Westerlo

2006–07 season

Dirar made his Westerlo debut in the opening match of the 2006–07 season, appearing as a late substitute for Patrick Ogunsoto in a 2–1 loss against Roeselare.[8] He scored his first Westerlo goal on 21 October in the sixth round of the Belgium Cup, a 1–0 win over Zaventem.[9] He provided two assists in a 2–1 win over Mons on 10 February 2007,[10] and did so again in a 4–2 win over Zulte Waregem on 21 April.[11] In the last match of the season, Dirar scored his first Westerlo goal in the Belgian First Division, in a 1–1 draw against Gent.[12] He finished the 2006–07 season with 2 goals from 35 appearances in all competitions.

2007–08 season

The 2007–08 season saw Dirar score his first goal of the season on 24 September 2007, in a 2–1 loss against Standard Liège.[13] He then set up two goals to help the club defeat Roseselare 6–0 on 20 October.[14] On 19 January 2008, he scored one goal and assisted two others in a 7–2 win against RWDM Brussels.[15] However, as the 2007–08 season progressed, he suffered injuries,[16][17][18][19][20] restricting him to 25 appearances across all competitions.

Dirar's performances at Westerlo attracted interests from other clubs, including Ajax,[21] Anderlecht,[22] Club Brugge[23] and Standard Liège.[24] Ultimately, he ended up joining Club Brugge, signing a five-year contract on 21 May 2008.[25]

Club Brugge

2008–09 season

The next day after signing for Club Brugge, Dirar joined the squad, alongside Joseph Akpala and Ronald Vargas.[26] He made his Club Brugge debut in the opening match of the 2008–09 season, where he started and lasted the entire 90 minutes in a 4–1 win against Tubize.[27] After making his UEFA Cup debut against Swiss side Young Boys on 18 September 2008,[28] He scored his first Club Brugge goal in the Bruges derby, a 3–1 win against Cercle Brugge on 19 October.[29]

After making his debut, Dirar became a first-team regular under the management of Jacky Mathijssen, then made three assists, which he did twice against Zulte Waregem[30] and once against Kortrijk between 29 October 2008 and 1 November 2008, both of which were wins.[31]

Dirar scored his second goal of the season on 31 January 2009 in a 3–1 win over Tubize[32] and again set up three assists, which he did twice against Roeselare[33] and Cercle Brugge between 28 February 2009 and 8 March 2009 respectively, which were also both wins.[34] During the last match of the season, he scored and set up two goals in a 4–1 win over Royal Excel Mouscron.[35] In his first season at the club, he helped the club finish third place behind Anderlecht and Standard Liège, therefore qualifying for the following season's UEFA Europa League, and made 40 appearances, scoring 3 goals and assisting 11 times in all competitions.

2009–10 season

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Dirar was linked with a move to the English Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton expressing an interest in signing him.[36] Dirar, however, stayed at the club, while changes had been made, with manager Mathijssen replaced by Adrie Koster and Dirar being forced to compete with new signing Ivan Perišić in the starting lineup. Despite this, Dirar scored and set up a goal in the opening match of the season, a 2–1 win over Charleroi.[37] In a 3–2 win against KV Mechelen on 15 August 2009, he spat at opposition player Yoni Buyens, which although went undetected by the referee, was caught on television. Consequently, he served a five-match ban, three on immediate effect and two on the last match of the season.[38] However, after an appeal from the club, his ban was reduced to two matches.[39] Around the same time, Dirar was suspended by the club and was sent to the reserve team after being late for training.[40]

Dirar made his return to the first team on 1 October in a 2–2 draw with Toulouse in the UEFA Europa League.[41] After again being late for training in mid-November, he was dropped from the squad against Charleroi and, as punishment, trained alone.[42][43] On 30 December, he returned to the first team and scored his second goal of the season (also setting-up another) in a 4–1 win over Kortrijk.[44] In early February, Dirar suffered an injury that kept him out throughout February and early March.[45] He was involved in altercation with the club captain Stijn Stijnen in training.[46]

Dirar returned to the first team on 21 March 2010, where he set up two goals in a 4–1 win over Beerschot.[47] Weeks later, he scored two goals in two matches against Anderlecht[48] and Gent on 3 and 11 April respectively.[49] He finished the 2009–10 season with 4 goals and 11 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.

2010–11 season

Ahead of the 2010–11 season Dirar signed a new contract with Club Brugge lasting until 2014.[50] However, he was again sent to the reserve team for two weeks after he failed to attend the fan day, though he claimed he did not attend because he was ill.[51][52] After two weeks with the reserves, he was reinstated to the first team.[53] Following a 1–0 loss against Lokeren on 23 October 2010, Dirar was again sent to the reserve side for three weeks after he fouled Tiko, which could have earned him a red card; he was substituted off in the second half as a result.[54]

After a three-week absence, he was reinstated to the first team[55] and scored his first goal of the season on 28 November in a 2–1 win over Sint-Truidense.[56] He scored his second goal in a 4–3 win over Westerlo in the next match.[57] In the match against Gent on 26 December, Dirar set up one of the goals but was sent-off in the eventual 2–0 win.[58] After the match, he was suspended for two matches.[59] Ultimately serving only a one-match ban,[60] he returned to the first team and scored and assisted another goal in a 5–0 win over Charleroi on 29 December.[61]

During a 2–1 victory against Lokeren on 21 February 2011, Dirar was involved an incident with teammate Ivan Perišić over who should take a free-kick; Perišić took the kick and scored, though Dirar refused to celebrate.[62] He was sent to the reserve team for the third time that season[63] after a 4–1 win over Kortrijk on 12 March when he again was involved in an incident with a teammate over who should take a free-kick, this time with Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe.[64] After the incident, Club Brugge supporters booed him, leading him to respond to the supporters with an obscene gestures. He was ordered by manager Koster to leave the pitch to avoid aggravating the situation.[65] After the match, Dirar apologized to the club and Odjidja-Ofoe during a press conference, saying his behaviour was unacceptable.[66]

A few weeks later, before the start of the playoffs, manager Koster reinstated Dirar to the first team, and he went on to appear in all of Brugge's playoff matches.[67] He finished the 2010–11 season with 3 goals and 11 assists in 40 appearances in all competitions. At the end of the season, he signed a contract with the club, which would keep him until 2016.[68]

2011–12 season

In the 2011–12 season, Dirar became one of the most productive players at the club, tallying the most assists for Club Brugge that season (11). He started the season well when he scored his first European goal in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League qualifying phase, in a 4–1 win over Qarabağ, and went on to progress to the next round despite losing 1–0 in the return leg.[69] Dirar scored again in the Europa League group stage and set-up another in a 2–0 win over Maribor.[70] He followed this by scoring his first league goal of the season, in a 2–1 win over Lokeren on 18 September 2011, as well as setting-up another goal.[71] Between 26 October and 30 November, he scored seven goals in six appearances in all competitions, against Gent,[72] Genk,[73] Standard Liège,[74] Cercle Brugge[75] and scoring a brace against Maribor in the Europa League.[76]

In the January transfer window, Dirar was linked with a move away from Club Brugge. French side Monaco made a bid for him, which led to him not playing against RAEC Mons on 29 January 2012 due to a hip injury.[77]

The 2013–14 season saw Dirar continue rehabilitating his injury,[92] and after seven months on the sidelines, he made his return to training from injury in January 2014.[93] It was not until 1 February 2014 when he made his return from the first team, where he came on as a substitute for James Rodríguez in the 62nd minute in a 2–2 draw against Lorient.[94] Dirar then scored his first goal of the season on 10 May in a 2–1 win over Valenciennes.[95] He finished the 2013–14 season with 1 goal in 13 appearances across all competitions.

2014–15 season

In the 2014–15 season, Dirar started the opening match of the Ligue 1 season at right-back in a 2–1 loss to Lorient.[96] It came after when new manager Leonardo Jardim began slotting Dirar at right-back position during the pre-season.[97] After missing one match due to an ankle injury,[98] Dirar scored his first goal for the club on 21 September in a 1–0 win over Guingamp.[99] After suffering two separate injuries in November[100][101] he set up a goal for Lucas Ocampos to score the only goal in a UEFA Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, a 1–0 victory on 26 November.[102]

2015–16 season

In the 2015–16 season, Dirar started in all seven matches, both in the Pro League and UEFA Europa League qualifying stages. However, in late August, he suffered ankle injury which kept him sidelined for several weeks.[109] After four weeks out with an injury, he made his return to the first team on 24 September 2015, where he set up one of his side's goals in a 3–2 win over Montpellier,[110] followed up by scoring his first goal of the season in a 3–3 draw against Guingamp.[111] However, he continued to remain sidelined,[112] including suffering another ankle injury.[113]

After serving the ban, Dirar made his return to the first team on 10 April in a 4–1 loss against Lille.[119] He scored his second goal of the season in a 3–2 win over Guingamp on 30 April.[120] He went on to finish the 2015–16 season with 2 goals from 24 appearances in all competitions.

2016–17 season

In the 2016–17 season, Dirar started the season well providing two assists to help the club defeat Fenerbahçe to send them through to the next round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds.[121] In the next match, against Guingamp in the 2016–17 Ligue 1 opener, he was awarded the captaincy following the absence of incumbent Radamel Falcao; he recorded an assist in the 2–2 draw.[122] He went on to captain two more matches, including against Villarreal, which ensured progression to the group stage after defeating the Spaniards 3–1 on aggregate.[123][124] He suffered a calf injury during a Champions League match against Tottenham Hotspur, which kept him sidelined for six weeks.[125]

On 26 November 2016 Dirar made his return to the first team, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 win over Marseille.[126] Two weeks after returning to the first team, he captained the side again on matchday 6 of the Champions League, a 3–0 loss against Bayer Leverkusen.[127] He also captained the team in the following match, a 7–0 win over Rennes in the round of 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue seven days later.[128] After being sidelined on three occasions due to international commitment[129] and injuries[130][131] Dirar scored an equalizer following a free-kick from Radamel Falcao in a 2–1 win over Dijon on 15 April 2017.[132] He suffered an injury during a warm-up prior to a Champions League match against Juventus, keeping him out for the remainder of the season.[133] The club went on to win the league for the first time since 2000 and Dirar was among three players (including with Danijel Subašić and Andrea Raggi) who won both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 in the past four seasons.[134] In 2016–17, he scored 1 goal from 33 appearances across all competitions.

In January 2021, Dirar rejoined Belgian side Club Brugge until the end of the 2021–22 season.[137]

After playing his last game with Mohammédia in November 2022, Dirar signed on a free transfer with Danish Third Division club Ishøj IF until the summer of 2024.[140]

International career

Dirar in the Moroccan squad before a friendly match against Czech Republic on 11 February 2009.

Dirar holds both Belgian and Moroccan nationalities, making him eligible to play for either national team. After featuring for the Morocco U23, he hinted at playing for the Belgium after being left out of the Morocco squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.[141]

Dirar initially announced his intention to play for the Belgium national football team after he decided to decline Morocco's offer.[142] However, he was ineligible to play for Belgium due to his appearances for the Moroccan youth squad.[143] Eventually, two months later, he announced his intention to play for Morocco.[144] Previously, he had said that he considered himself more Moroccan than Belgian.[5]

After appearing in the Morocco U23 side, Dirar earned his first cap for the Morocco in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Mauritania on 11 October 2008.[145] His international career was in doubt after being left out of the squad.[146] He later revealed that he did not get on with then Morocco Manager Roger Lemerre, saying Lemerre treated him like a dog.[147] Following Lemerre's sacking, Dirar was welcomed back to the national team.[148] In February 2012, he was called up by Manager Eric Gerets for the Africa Cup of Nations but declined the offer, believing that Gerets would not be needing him for the national team squad.[149]

However, after a six-year absence, Dirar made his national team return, where he played as a right–back, in a 1–0 loss against Uruguay on 28 March 2015. It was his first appearance since being suspended.[150]

In May 2018 he was named in Morocco's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[151]

Personal life

Born in Casablanca, Morocco, Dirar grew up in a poor childhood: his father died when he was one, leaving his mother, a housekeeper, raising eleven children: seven sons and four sisters.[5] Due to his mother's struggle, his brothers worked to support his mother.[5]

Dirar expressed his past dislike for school, having revealed that he skipped schools and exams.[5] Despite this, Dirar took auto mechanic's classes for two years.[5] Dirar is also good friends with compatriot teammate Mbark Boussoufa.[152] In September 2012, Dirar was fined and lost his driver's license for about fifteen days after he parked his car in the bike path prior to his departure to AS Monaco.[153]

Dirar married in 2011.[92][154][155] In 2012, Dirar became a father when his wife gave birth to a daughter, Layana, which led him to cancel his international commitment for Morocco.[156]

He is a Muslim.[5]
