Nourdin Boukhari (
Arabic: نور الدين البخاري; born 30 June 1980) is a Moroccan former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. After retiring, he worked as a youth coach he is the currently assistant coach of Eredivisie club Sparta Rotterdam.[1] Born in the Netherlands, he represented Morocco
at international level.
Club career
He started his career for
Nantes.[3] However, his stay with the French side turned out to be a disappointment, so he was sent on loan to AZ in January 2007.[4] Although not unsuccessful, AZ chose not to buy him and Boukhari returned to Nantes, which was relegated to the Ligue 2. Boukhari was reluctant to play in the second division and on 7 July he returned to Sparta Rotterdam
, where he signed a contract for three years. Back at the club where it all started for him, Boukhari became club captain and the face of the 100-year Anniversary of the club.
After spending a season with Sparta Rotterdam, Boukhari was approached early in the transfer window by Saudi Arabian club
Al-Ittihad. However, the Saudi Arabian side then refused to pay the transfer fee to Sparta, instead of paying the fee, sending a lawyer to declare that they wanted to cancel the deal. Al-Ittihad manager Gabriel Calderón was reportedly unhappy about Boukhari's lack of match fitness, and asked the board to cancel the transfer. However, the Eredivisie side wanted the transfer to go through: "The transfer is a done deal and we expect to receive the money into our account," said director Peter Bonthuis. The Rotterdam side submitted a complaint to FIFA regarding the Saudi Arabian club's sudden change of action.[5]
In January 2009, Boukhari signed a contract until the end of the season with
Hoofdklasse side Magreb '90.[12]

Boukhari chose to represent
Morocco in international football. He made his international debut in a November 2001 friendly match against Zambia
.
