Early life

edit

Amri was born in Saint-Avold, France, to Algerian parents. His family is originally from Laâchache, Tlemcen Province, Algeria.

Career

edit

After leaving FC Metz's junior ranks, he played briefly at amateur club ASC Lascasbas before joining the reserve team of 1. FC Saarbrücken. After one season with the reserve team, he was called up to the senior squad and scored six goals in 25 games. The next summer he signed a four-year contract with then 2. Bundesliga side 1. FSV Mainz 05. On 3 March 2010, his club announced that it would not renew the contract with the striker and that he would leave the club in summer.[2] Amri then joined 1. FC Kaiserslautern.

On 15 December 2011, Amri was loaned out by Kaiserslautern to FSV Frankfurt until the end of the season.[3][4] On 26 February 2012, in a league game against Karlsruher SC, Amri broke his leg after colliding with opposing goalkeeper Dirk Orlishausen, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.[5]

Coaching career

edit

At the end of November 2020, Stéphane Léoni was appointed manager of Luxembourgian club FC Progrès Niederkorn, with Amri being announced as his assistant.[6] After difficult second part of the 2021–22 season, the duo left the club at the end of the campaign, one year before their contracts expired.[7]
