Patrice Latyr Evra (French pronunciation: [pa.tʁis e.vʁa]; born 15 May 1981) is a French football coach and former professional player. Originally a forward, he primarily played as a left-back. Evra, whom manager Sir Alex Ferguson praised for his leadership, also describing him as one of the best left-backs in Europe, served as captain for both Manchester United and the France national team. The son of a diplomat, Evra was born in Senegal and arrived in Europe when he was a year old. Evra started his career with Italian club Marsala. The following season, he joined Monza, but returned to France a year later to play for Nice where he was converted into a full-back. In 2002, he joined Monaco and was part of the team that reached the 2004 UEFA Champions League Final. Evra's performances for Monaco culminated in a move to English club Manchester United in January 2006 where he went on to win a collection trophies including five Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League. In 2014, he joined Italian side Juventus before moving to Marseille in January 2017; however, he was released in November 2017 after being banned from UEFA competition for seven months for kicking a fan prior to a UEFA Europa League match. Following a short-term contract with West Ham United in February 2018, Evra retired from professional football in July 2019.
Ben Fisher for the guardian mentioned Patrice Evra's ban from Uefa, "Marseille have terminated Patrice Evra’s contract by mutual consent after the defender aimed a kick at one of the club’s own fans this month. The Ligue 1 side announced on Friday afternoon that they had parted company with the 36-year-old, shortly after Uefa announced he had been banned from all European club matches for seven months. Evra has also been fined €10,000 (£8,829) for his actions, for which he was sent off before Marseille’s Europa League game at Vitória de Guimarães."
