Aurèle Amenda of Coventry City was born in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland on 31 July 2003 (age 23).

Aurèle Amenda, born on 31 July 2003 (age 23), is a Swiss central defender at Coventry City. At 6ft 4in (1.94m), he is an imposing presence, which is hardly a drawback in his line of work.

His senior career began with Young Boys, where he made four league appearances in the 2021-22 season. He has since moved into English football with Coventry, and in 2026-27 he has made four Premier League appearances and two in the League Cup, giving him six appearances across all competitions for the club.

He was linked with Celtic in January 2026. His market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Amenda’s career is still at a relatively early stage, but it already runs from Swiss football with Young Boys to regular involvement at Coventry. For now, he is a tall, developing centre-half with a straightforward profile and room still to define what comes next.
