Club career

Boutabout was born in Le Creusot, France.

In February 2010 he signed for USM Blida from Belgian club K.V. Kortrijk and spent a season there.[1] After receiving a contract offer from Championnat National side UJA Alfortville he trialled a few weeks with reigning Scottish Premier League champions Rangers upon the invitation of compatriot Madjid Bougherra.[1]

On March 14, 2011, it was announced that Boutabout had joined Réunion-club AS Excelsior.[2] where he joined up with Algerian coach Farès Bousdira.[3]

International career

Boutabout received his first call-up to the Algerian National Team for a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Niger on October 11, 2003.[4] He started the game and scored its only goal in the 62nd minute. A month later, he scored another two goals in the 6–0 win in the return leg against Niger.[5]

Boutabout was subsequently called up to be part of the Algerian 2004 African Nations Cup in Tunisia where he started three games in the competition without scoring a goal before the team lost in the quarter-finals to Morocco.

Boutabout's last cap came on March 26, 2008, in a friendly against DR Congo.[6]
