David Kiki, a 32-year-old left-back from Benin, has been spotted training alone at the National Arena, the former home stadium of FCSB, a move that has sparked curiosity about his next career steps.
Despite his departure from FCSB, Kiki has not lost his passion for the sport and his dedication to training is a testament to his resilience. The footballer took to his official Instagram account to share photos and a video of his solo training session, accompanied by a thought-provoking message.
The video, which has been well-received by his former teammates and fans, shows Kiki performing various exercises and sprints near the National Arena. His caption, “No excuses, just work,” is a reflection of his determination to stay fit and focused, even in the face of uncertainty.
Kiki’s tenure at FCSB was marked by a struggle to secure a regular starting spot, with Risto Radunovic and Joao Paulo edging him out for the left-back position. Despite having a year left on his contract, the club’s owner, Gigi Becali, opted to terminate the agreement, and Kiki has since been on the lookout for a new opportunity.
A Career of Resilience
Kiki’s career has been a story of perseverance and adaptation. Having played for several clubs in France and Bulgaria, he has honed his skills and gained valuable experience. At the international level, he has earned 52 caps for the Benin national team, a testament to his talent and dedication.
Training for the Unknown
As Kiki continues to train alone, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for this experienced left-back? Will he find a new club to call home, or will he opt for a different path? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – David Kiki is not ready to give up on his football dreams just yet.
In the words of Gigi Becali, “There’s still one more player who’s not in this team, I don’t want to mention names, but there are three players who are surplus to requirements. Edjouma’s contract is up at the end of the season.”
As Kiki looks to the future, one thing is clear: he will continue to work hard and stay focused, waiting for the right opportunity to come along.
