Brou Benjamin Angoua (born 28 November 1986) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for French Championnat National 2 club Stade Briochin. He is equally adept at playing as either a defensive midfielder or a central defender.[1] He has represented the Ivory Coast national football team at the Olympic Games and the Africa Cup of Nations.
Born in Anyama, Angoua began his career with local club Toumodi.[2] He also played for Africa Sports National in the Côte d'Ivoire Premier Division.[3]
After two seasons with the club, Angoua moved abroad to play with Budapest Honvéd in Hungary. He spent four years at the club, in which he made over 90 appearances.[4]
In 2010, Angoua moved to France to play with first division club Valenciennes. After a four-season-and-a half at Valenciennes, he signed on to play for Guingamp on 15 July 2014.[5] After two and a half years in Brittany, he signed with New England Revolution on a one-year loan.[6] [7] His loan was not extended following the 2017 season.[8]
On 30 December 2018, he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Super League Greece club Levadiakos for an undisclosed fee.[9]
Angoua left Greece at the end of his Levadiakos contract, returning to France to sign a one-year deal with newly promoted Championnat National side Stade Briochin in July 2020.[10]
Angoua represented the Ivory Coast under-23 team at the 2008 Olympic Games, losing in the quarterfinals to Nigeria.[11]
On 18 November 2009, Angoua made his senior team debut in a 2–2 friendly draw against Germany, coming on as a substitute for Cheick Tioté.[12] He scored his first goal in a 2–0 friendly against Rwanda, scoring in the 90th minute.[13]
