Playing career

Early career

Raychouni played youth football for S.C. Berliner Amateure 1920, 1. FC Wilmersdorf, and Tennis Borussia Berlin.

Singapore

Flying to Singapore to trial for Woodlands Wellington of the local S.League in January 2011,[2] due to Canadian player Sergio De Luca contacting them, Raychouni eventually signed a one-year contract with the club.[3] He recorded his first appearance in a 1–0 defeat to Hougang United, playing the full 90 minutes.[4] Provided with a remuneration and an apartment by Woodlands Wellington, the Lebanese footballer operated mostly as a centre-back throughout his stay there,[5] sometimes selected as captain and ending the season with 31 appearances.[6]

Lebanon

For the 2012–13 season, Raychouni was under contract with Lebanese Premier League club Safa, also participating in the 2013 AFC Cup.[7]

Thailand and India trials

In July 2013, Thai Premier League side Pattaya United contacted Raychouni to negotiate a possible transfer. However, the move never occurred.[8] The next year, he tried out for Salgaocar, then of the Indian I-League, and did not make the team.[9]

Bahrain

Under contract with Bahraini Second Division club Isa Town for the 2014–15 season, the defender was satisfied with the experience of playing professionally abroad but expressed desire to go back to Germany.[10]

Return to Germany

Between 2017 and 2018, Raychouni simultaneously served as head coach and played for CFC Hertha 06 of the German fifth division.[11] [12]

Managerial career

After an experience as player-manager of CFC Hertha 06, in 2018 Raychouni became manager of Berliner AK 07.[13]
