The Morocco international, with over 50 goals in Ligue 2, hangs up his boots after a season with KAC Marrakech, says L'Équipe.
Khalid Boutaïb has decided to end his playing career at 39, following his final season with KAC Marrakech, according to L'Équipe. The Morocco international’s career has been closely tied to French football.
