The club’s academy has produced notable players like Kolo Tour\u00e9, Yaya Tour\u00e9, Salomon Kalou, Bonaventure Kalou, Gervinho, Boubacar Barry, Didier Zokora, Emmanuel Ebou\u00e9, Bakari Kon\u00e9, Romaric, Aruna Dindane, Didier Ya Konan and Odilon Kossounou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Marc Guillou was the club’s manager between 1993 and 2000 and also served as Sporting Director. Alongside Roger Ou\u00e9gnin, he founded the club’s academy and they started scouting for young talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guillou later became manager of Belgian side Beveren in 2001 and with his influence, a number of Ivorian players like Yaya Tour\u00e9, Emmanuel Ebou\u00e9, Arthur Boka, Gervinho, Boubacar Barry and Romaric got to play for Beveren, from where other European clubs showed interest in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable players to have played for the club include Laurent Pokou, Eustache Mangl\u00e9, Henry Nwosu, Hamed Herv\u00e9 Diomand\u00e9, Benedict Iroha, Aristide Banc\u00e9 and Football Kitchen Admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASEC Mimosas holds the world record for unbeaten games, playing 108 games without defeat between 1989 and 1994 across the league and domestic cup competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feat was achieved under three different managers- Philippe Troussier, Eustache Mangl\u00e9 and Charly R\u00f6ssli. But the streak finally ended with a 2-1 defeat to SO Armee on 19 June 1994.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
