Armand Mahan (born September 7, 1983) is an Ivorian professional association football player. He is usually positioned as a left back or left winger.

Career

Mahan played during his youth for ASEC Mimosas. He moved to Belgium in 2003, when he signed a contract with SK Beveren who worked together with the Ivorian team via the Frenchman Jean-Marc Guillou. Several other more famous players made this same move, such as Emmanuel Eboué, Arthur Boka, Romaric and Yaya Touré.

In the Jupiler League 2006-07 season, SK Beveren ended 18th and last in the league. As a result, they were relegated to the Belgian Second Division. Mahan, being end of contract at Beveren, was offered a contract by Cercle Brugge about two weeks after the end of the season, a contract which he accepted. This way, despite relegation, Mahan still played at the highest level of Belgian football. However, at the end of the 2007-08 season, he was given a free transfer.

gollark: planned economy bad.

gollark: (which does mean that the current high inequality is somewhat problematic, but I'm not sure what the fix for that is unless you *can* somehow split economic/political power a lot)

gollark: (unless you can somehow strongly decouple them? it would be interesting if that could be done somehow)

gollark: You can, I'm sure, just complain that all examples of that aren't REAL communism. But really, centralized economic power leads to centralized political power.

gollark: But *persecuting* individuals instead of just being broken and failing them... well, there are probably examples, I just don't know how exactly to find them.
