Habib Frédéric Beye (born 19 October 1977) is a former professional
Formed at
Born and raised in France, Beye represented the Senegal national team, earning 45 caps between 2001 and 2008. He was part of their squads at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2002 (runners-up), 2004, 2006 (semi-finalists) and 2008, as well as a quarter-finalist at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Early and personal life
Beye was born in Suresnes, Hauts-de-Seine, and grew up in Le Port-Marly.[5][6] He is a Muslim.[7]
Club career
Paris Saint-Germain
Beye joined Paris Saint-Germain in 1997, though he progressed no further than the reserve side, playing in the national fifth division. He transferred at the end of the season to RC Strasbourg in 1998 for an undisclosed amount.[citation needed]
Strasbourg
Following his summer move to RC Strasbourg in 1998, Beye made his league debut on 8 August 1998 in a home 0–0 draw against
Marseille
On 6 August 2003, Beye signed a three-year contract at Marseille under manager Alain Perrin, for a reported fee of €1.2 million. He said that despite his Parisian upbringing, he had always supported the club.[9]

Beye signed for Newcastle United for a fee of £2 million (€3 million) on 31 August 2007, during the closing minutes of the summer transfer window. He signed a three-year contract, with then Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce declaring that he was very pleased with the transfer. Allardyce said in a later interview on the club's website that he felt he acquired Beye for a "bargain" price and that he and his international colleague who also signed with him, Abdoulaye Faye would be excellent signings for Newcastle.[11]
He made his Newcastle debut on 17 September 2007, as a substitute in the 1–0 defeat at Derby County. He then made his full debut at home to West Ham United. He scored his only Premier League goal for Newcastle in the 2–1 win against Birmingham City on 8 December, with a near-post header in second-half injury time.[12] The Newcastle fans chanted his name to the tune of the Happy Days theme.[13] On 22 May 2008, Beye was named Newcastle player of the season based on fan votes to a poll organised by the Evening Chronicle,[14] he was then named the official Newcastle player of the season on 23 May 2008,[15] as well as being named the Newcastle United Disabled Supporters Association Player of the Season on 22 August.[16]
After missing the start of the 2008–09 season from injury, Beye started against Manchester City on 20 October 2008. He was sent off after only 12 minutes for a challenge on Robinho, the first red card of his Newcastle career. Newcastle appealed the red card and on 23 October the claim of wrongful dismissal was upheld.[17] After Newcastle were relegated from the Premier League at the conclusion of the 2008–09 season, an article on the club's official website stated Beye's intention to remain at the club to help get them back into the Premier League.[18] However, the continuing problems behind the scenes at Newcastle would lead to Beye stating that he would have to leave the club in order to save his career.[19]
Aston Villa
Despite Hull City chairman Paul Duffen revealing that the Tigers had agreed a fee with Newcastle United to sign Beye on 6 August 2009,[20] it was announced the following day that Beye had signed for Aston Villa.[21] Beye was substituted late into his Villa debut on the opening day of the 2009–10 season, a 2–0 defeat by Wigan Athletic. He was sent off near the end of his third game for Villa in an away tie against West Ham United. Beye found it hard to break into the Villa first team with the likes of Carlos Cuéllar and Luke Young ahead of him in the pecking order and often found himself restricted to bench appearances. In February 2012, it was announced that Beye's contract had been cancelled by mutual consent.[22]
Doncaster Rovers
After making just nine league appearances for Aston Villa since the summer of 2009 and being surplus to requirements, Beye signed on loan for
Following his release by Aston Villa, Beye signed an 18-month deal to permanently join Rovers on 13 February 2012.

At the
Beye retired from international football in an effort to concentrate on his club career following a first-round exit at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations.[28]
Managerial career
After retiring, Beye became a pundit on France's Canal+.[29] In May 2021, he was named assistant manager at Paris-based Red Star in the third-tier Championnat National, as assistant to Vincent Bordot.[30] He was put in interim charge in September after Bordot's dismissal following six games of the season.[31] On his debut on 17 September, the team lost 1–0 at home to Villefranche;[32] he took them to the last 64 of the Coupe de France where they were defeated 2–0 by Monaco at the Stade Bauer.[33] Having saved the team from relegation with an 11th-place finish, his contract was extended to 2024 in May 2022.[34] In the 2022–23 Championnat National, Red Star came third, two points off the promoted pair of Concarneau and Dunkerque.[35] The following season, Beye led Red Star to promotion to Ligue 2 for the first time in six years, and then allowed his contract to expire.[36]
