Colin Dagba and his early promise at Paris Saint-Germain
Former Paris Saint-Germain academy product Colin Dagba once captured the attention of coach Thomas Tuchel during his breakthrough in French football. The young right-back displayed great potential, earning praise for his reliability, speed, and technical quality while competing alongside seasoned figures like Thomas Meunier and Dani Alves. Launched during the 2018 Trophée des Champions against Monaco, the defender made valuable appearances, even featuring in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich. However, following physical struggles and the arrival of Achraf Hakimi under Mauricio Pochettino, his opportunities at the French club faded significantly.
Loan spells and difficulties in French and Belgian leagues
Seeking regular playing time, the player moved to RC Strasbourg in 2022 before joining AJ Auxerre on loan. Unfortunately, these moves did not yield the desired consistency in Ligue 1. Looking for a fresh start in professional football, he transferred to Belgian side Beerschot in the Jupiler Pro League. Despite experiencing a relegation battle and playing under coach Dirk Kuyt, he continued working hard to relaunch his career abroad, although collective success remained difficult to achieve.
A new chapter in Italian Serie B football
Today, the French full-back has embarked on a new journey in Italian football by signing with Serie B club Carrarese. Tasked with helping the team secure its survival, the defender brings his offensive qualities and tactical awareness to the squad. Far from the glamour of the Champions League nights he once experienced with the Parisian club, this upcoming fixture in the Italian second division represents a crucial step for him to regain stability and regular playing time on the pitch.
