Club Career
Whilst at Olympique de Marseille, Yahiaoui was a target for Chelsea FC but the club was unsuccessful in its attempts to signing him, as Olympique de Marseille had persuaded him to stay with the squad. At the beginning of his career, Yahiaoui played for France U-17. However, he failed to make an impact at his then club Olympique de Marseille, in contrast to his team-mate Samir Nasri. He left the squad to play one year for the Ligue 2 side FC Istres, before joining FC Sion, from where he was released at the beginning of 2007.
Yahiaoui had been on trial at Everton FC but failed to secure a permanent deal.

“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”

“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
