Career
Italy
He played for eight clubs in Italy in a period of seven years.[2] He began his football career in the 2001–02 season in the Italian Serie B with Ternana Calcio, where he played twice without scoring. After moving on, he represented clubs in Serie C1 and Serie C2.[3]
Czech Republic
In January 2009, Chigou signed for Czech club FK Dukla Prague from Hungarian side Debrecen.[4] He made his first appearance for Dukla in a friendly match against SV Wacker Burghausen on 17 January 2009,[5] scoring two goals.[6] He opened his account in his second competitive game for the club,[7] scoring a hat-trick as Dukla defeated Fotbal Fulnek by a club record score, 6–0.[8]
In the 2009–2010 season he scored 14 goals, becoming the top goalscorer of the Czech 2. Liga together with Pavel Černý and Karel Kroupa.[9]
Chigou started the following season, the 2010–11 Czech 2. Liga, by scoring six goals in five matches[4] and again finished the season as the division's top scorer, this time outright, with 19 goals for FK Dukla Prague.[10] Following the end of the 2010–11 season, Chigou decided not to extend his contract and left the club.[11]
In July 2011, Chigou had a trial at Belgian First Division club Oud-Heverlee Leuven.[12] However Chigou was not offered a contract and found himself back at Dukla at the beginning of the 2011–12 Gambrinus liga to train with the club, watching the opening game of the season against Olomouc.[13] On 25 August 2011 it was announced he had started training at Russian First Division outfit FC Volgar-Gazprom Astrakhan.[14]
In February 2012, Chigou returned to the Czech Republic, signing once more for Dukla, but immediately going on loan to Czech 2. Liga side FC Zbrojovka Brno.[15]
Chigou returned to Dukla in the summer of 2012 but did not feature for the first team in the first half of the season. In February 2013 he had a trial at second division 1. SC Znojmo. Despite scoring in a 4–1 friendly win against Austrian third division side Retz, Znojmo manager Leoš Kalvoda decided against signing the player.[16]
In August 2013 Chigou signed a 6 months contract with Al Jahra SC in the Kuwaiti League. The contract ended on 31 December 2013
