Mickaël Franck Poté (born 24 September 1984) is a Beninese former professional footballer.

Club career

Born in Lyon, Poté began his career in 2003 with Grenoble Foot, where he played only three games in his first season. After the season, he signed a contract with Cannes, where he stayed three years, playing fifty-one games and scoring nine goals. In the summer of 2007, he joined Clermont Foot, where he played thirty-six games in his first season, scoring five goals. In the spring of 2009, there were rumours that he might be transferred to Strasbourg or Havre, but neither transfer occurred. On 26 June 2009, he signed a three-year contract with Ligue 1 side Nice. On 2 January 2011, he joined Ligue 2 side Le Mans on a six-month loan deal. In August 2011, he left France and signed a three-year contract with 2. Bundesliga club Dynamo Dresden. In 2014, Poté moved to Omonia, where he was Cypriot's League top scorer with 17 goals in a season. In the 2015–16 season, he played for Adana Demirspor at Turkish 1st Division and won the top scorer title with his 20 goals.

International career

Although Poté was born in France, he was eligible to represent the Ivory Coast, due to his father's roots. Instead, he chose to play for Benin, his mother's country. His debut game was on 7 September 2008, against Angola.

He played at 2019 Africa Cup of Nations where the team reached the quarter-finals.
