Djetou was born in
Brogohlo, in the Ivory Coast. At Monaco he was part of the squad that won
Ligue 1 in 1997 and 2000. Djetou made his name as a powerful defensive midfielder for Monaco, most notably dominating a Champions League quarter final against
Manchester United in 1998. Following that game Djetou - who also played in defence - was linked with a host of top European clubs, but chose Parma as his next destination. Prior to his brief spell at Bolton, his only other experience in English football came by the way of a two-year loan spell at
Fulham where he amassed over half a century of appearances (and scored the winner against
Leeds United in a 1–0 win in December 2002) but a permanent deal could not be agreed with Italian club Parma. In November 2006 he was awarded a trial at English club
Leeds United but was not offered a permanent deal. After his spell with Bolton, he moved back to France, joining up with Istres. However, after some sluggish performances, he was released from his contract in 2006. In 2007, he stopped his professional career, started to play for SC Schiltigheim (amateur) and retired in summer 2008. ==International career==
