Former Chelsea and Ivory Coast forward Salomon Kalou has proved that it’s possible to combine professional football and education as he received his University degree in Business administration Saturday.


The 35-year-old was awarded the degree in Lyon, France after completing the three-year studies.

Kalou recently joined Brazilian topflight club Botafogo on 9th July 2020 from Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin where he spent six seasons.

Born in Oumé, Cote d’Ivoire, Kalou like his older brother Bonaventure, began his career in local club Mimosas before moving to Europe where he signed for Feyenoord in 2003.

But he’s best remembered for his spell at Chelsea where he won the Premier League, FA Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Champions League.

He made his international debut for Cote d’Ivoire in 2007 and has scored 28 goals in 97 appearances.

In 2015 he helped Cote d’Ivoire win their second Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title.
