Djemba Djemba joins Partizan Belgrade
Former Manchester United and Cameroon midfielder Eric Djemba Djemba has joined Partizan Belgrade on a two-year contract.
The announcement came hours before Serbian champions
Partizan host Armenians FC Shirak in the return leg of their Champions
League second qualifying round, with the first leg having ended in a 1-1
draw.
"After negotiations that lasted all day on Tuesday, the two parties
hammered out the contract details today and the player will be eligible
to play for Partizan in the Champions League should the club advance
into the third qualifying round," Partizan said .
The 32-year-old defensive midfielder had two patchy seasons at United
from 2003 to 2005, failing to break into the first team before moving
to Aston Villa where he made just 11 league appearances from 2005 to 2007 and was loaned to Championship side Burnley.
Djemba Djemba spent one season at Qatar SC and reinvigorated his
career at Danish top-flight outfit Odense, scoring three goals in 109
league games from 2008 to 2012 before joining Hapoel Tel Aviv last year.
He was a member of the Cameroon team who won the 2002 African Nations
Cup and played for his country in the World Cup the same year.
Internet forums suggest many Partizan fans see him as an ideal
replacement for stalwart Milan Smiljanic, who has joined Turkish first
division side Genclerbirligi after helping the Serbian champions to a
record sixth successive league title.
