Personal

Although born in France, Chalali is originally from the village of Ighil Ouantar, in the Seddouk District of the Béjaïa Province.[1]

Club career

France

Chalali began his career with CA Romainville before he was scouted in summer 2003 from Le Havre AC.[2] He made his Ligue 2 debut on November 2, 2007, coming on as a substitute against EA Guingamp.[3] On 15 July 2009 he agreed a contract with LB Châteauroux.[4]

Greece

On August 23 2010, Chalali signed a three-year contract with Greek club Panionios, joining them on a free transfer from Châteauroux.[5] He made 12 league appearances for the club, 5 of which were as substitute.[6]

Scotland

The 2011 Greek riots motivated Chalali to seek a move abroad, and former Rangers defender and fellow Algerian Majid Bougherra recommended that he consider playing in Scotland.[7] On 23 August 2011, Chalali signed for Scottish Premier League club Aberdeen F.C..[8][9] He had been recommended to Aberdeen manager Craig Brown by former Superleague Greece colleague Youl Mawene, and had impressed during a trial earlier in the same month.[10][11][12] Brown said Chalali had been the most impressive of all the trialists at the club in the 2011 summer transfer window, including Icelandic international Kari Arnason and former Dutch under-21 Maceo Rigters.[13]

On the same day, despite having gone without sleep the previous evening to return to Greece to retrieve transfer-related paperwork, Chalali made his debut for Aberdeen as a second half substitute in a 2011-12 Scottish League Cup win against Dundee.[14][15][16] He was assigned squad number 18 for the 2011-12 Scottish Premier League season, and made his league debut, also as a substitute, in a 2-0 defeat away to Rangers on 28 August 2011.[9][17] He made his first start for the club in an Aberdeenshire Cup semi-final fixture against Deveronvale the following day.[18][19]

He scored his first goals for the club on 13 September 2011 in a testimonial match against Highland League side Keith, where he got a double and created another in a 6-0 victory.[20][21] His first league start came in a 2-2 draw against Kilmarnock F.C. on 17 September 2011.[22]

International career

Chalali has three caps with the Algerian Under 20 National Team.[23] On October 12, 2010, Chalali made his debut for the Algerian Under-23 National Team in a 1–0 friendly win over Qatar.[24]

He went on to become captain of the U-23 side.[9] In August 2011, he informed Aberdeen that he was likely to feature in the 2011 CAF U-23 Championship, a tournament that also serves as the qualification process for the 2012 Olympics, and that he had ambitions to represent the full national side in the qualifiers for the 2012 African Cup of Nations.[25] On November 16, 2011, he was selected as part of Algeria's squad for the 2011 CAF U-23 Championship in Morocco.[26]
