Thiam was born in Bobigny, France. He was said to have a good midfield partnership with Stoke City's Mamady Sidibe and Real Madrid's Mahamadou Diarra when playing internationally. He joined Stade de Reims in January 2009.[1]

Post-playing career

After retiring from playing, Thiam worked as a consultant of beIN Sports.[2]

In September 2019 Yunis Abdelhamid's agent Alain Gauci accused Thiam of illegally acting as an agent on Abdelhamid's behalf. Thiam rejected the allegations as "false".[2] In October 2019, the Reims prosecutor opened a "preliminary investigation".[3][4]
