Olivier Suray


Olivier Suray is a Belgian football manager and former professional player who played for several clubs in Europe.
In 2006, he was implicated in a match-fixing scandal involving Chinese business executive Zheyun Ye. Prior to that in 2005, Suray was named the CEO of Finnish Veikkausliiga club AC Allianssi by the new Belgian-Chinese owners. He also hired Thierry Pister the club's new manager and brought six new players from Belgium to Allianssi, including Jean-Pierre La Placa, Hocine Chebaïki, Mustapha Douaï, Sergei Omelianovitch, Kasim Yildiz and Grégory Goffin. The club's first choice keeper Henri Sillanpää was sent to Belgium for an ambiguous fake trial match. Allianssi lost the following match against FC Haka 8–0, which sparked suspicion of match-fixing.

Club career

Suray had a spell in the Turkish Süper Lig with Altay S.K. and Adanaspor and several seasons in the Belgian First Division with R. Charleroi S.C., R.S.C. Anderlecht and R.A.E.C. Mons.
