Alain Behi (born 1 July 1978) is a French-Ivorian football player.
Club career
The defensive midfielder has previously played several years for the French Ligue 2 side Châteauroux before moving on to play in the Belgium Jupiler League for RAEC Mons. He got to play 21 league games, scoring 1 goal in the 2004/05 season, but the Club was relegated and after having played 14 second level games in 2005/2006, Alain Behi finally signed a 1½-year deal with Greek top-flight club Kallithea FC in January 2006, but moved on to the Greek 2nd level side PAS Giannina, after Kallithea also had suffered relegation. Unfortunately there was a dispute about his contract at PAS Giannina, so he left the club and was eventually handed a successful trial at Danish Randers FC.
Randers FC
Alain Behi joined Randers FC as they needed a defensive midfielder. However, Behi failed to achieve a regular place in the starting eleven only playing a few times. In the 2007/08 season Behi ruined Randers' chance of leading the fair play competition (for teams not already qualified for European competitions) completely by getting two yellow cards and thereby a red card against later relegated side Lyngby BK - a competition FC Nordsjaelland later entered the UEFA Cup through. Although being one of Randers' most expensive players, Behi has not played a big part in Randers' success in the start of season 2008/09 (having 7 points after three matches) not having played single match as a starter and only being put on as a late substitute. Alain Behi will receive further competition with a comeback of former Danish under-21 international Jonas Damborg coming back from a long term injury and Swedish Bobbie da Cruz joining the team at the winter break (both can play defender as well as defensive midfielder.)
He played for Ashford Town F.C. (Middlesex) in the Isthmian League Premier Division, returning to France at the end of the 2010-11 season.[1]
