Career & Clubs
Born in Boujad, Chippo began his career at KAC Kénitra. He spent two seasons at Porto where he began to display his talent in Europe. In 1999, he signed for Coventry City in the Premier League where he played alongside fellow Moroccan international Mustapha Hadji in midfield. Coventry City were relegated in his second season, but he remained at the club for two more years. With Coventry City in financial trouble and looking to offload players, Chippo joined the Qatari side Al Sadd on a six-month loan on 11 April 2003. The loan was cancelled early at the end of June. However, he played at Al Sadd until 2005. On 24 February 2007, it was reported that Hibernian would be taking Chippo on trial. In October 2007, Swedish club Hammarby also gave him a trial, but he was not offered a contract.
Chippo was selected for the Morocco squads for the 1992 Summer Olympics, the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he started three matches but scored an own goal against Norway, and four African Cup of Nations squads between 1998 and 2006. He missed the 2004 African Nations Cup in Tunisia after falling out with the team's coach, Ezzaki Badou, but was recalled by Mohamed Fakhir for the 2006 tournament. He retired from international competition after the tournament, having won 62 caps.
