Hassan Samih Chaitou[a] (Arabic: حسن سميح شعيتو, Lebanese Arabic pronunciation: [ˈħasan saˈmiːħ ˈʃʕajto, -tu]; born 16 June 1991), also known as Shibriko (Arabic: شبريكو, [ʃiː'briːko, -ku]), is a Lebanese footballer who plays as a left-back for Lebanese Premier League club Ansar and the Lebanon national team.
Club career[]
Coming through the youth system, Chaitou began his senior career at Lebanese Second Division side Khoyol during the 2011–12 season.[3] Following two seasons, Lebanese Premier League club Safa announced the signing of Chaitou on 7 March 2013.[4] In his first season at Safa, Chaito won the 2013 Lebanese Super Cup, beating Shabab Sahel 2–1 in the final.[5] During the 2013–14 season, Chaito played four league games.[3] The following season (2014–15), Chaito didn't feature in the league for Safa.[3]
In 2015 Chaitou joined Ansar.[3] He became a regular for the team, playing 15 league games during the 2015–16 season.[3] The following season, in 2016–17, Chaitou helped his side win the 2016–17 Lebanese FA Cup; he scored three goals in 13 league games that season.[3] In 2020–21, Chaitou helped Ansar win their first league title since 2007, and their 14th overall.[6] He also helped Ansar win the double, beating Nejmeh in the 2020–21 Lebanese FA Cup final on penalty shoot-outs.[7]
International career[]
Chaitou played for the Lebanon national under-22 team at the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship qualification in 2012.[4] His senior international debut for Lebanon came on 20 November 2018, in a friendly against Australia; Lebanon lost 3–0.[3] In December 2018, Chaitou was called up for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad.[2] However, he didn't feature in the tournament.[3]
Style of play[]
A modern full-back, Shibriko is a quick player who can both attack and defend down the wing.[8]
Personal life[]
Chaitou's nickname comes from the name of his local club in Haret Hreik where he used to play: Shibriko.[9] Indeed, when playing football with his friends, Chaitou wore his club's shirt which bore its name on the back.[9]
