Modeste M’Bami, Cameroonian player who played in millionaires in 2014, he spent this Saturday in Le Havre (France), at just 40 years of age.
M’Bami, born on October 9, 1982, arrived unexpectedly at Millos at the request of the then team coach, the Spanish Juan Manuel Lillo, who had directed it in Almería.
The only African to wear the Millonarios shirt showed good conditions, but his time at the club was short: he barely played 14 games and in mid-2014 he went to Le Havre in France. In that city he settled since his retirement from soccer, in 2016.
