Boutabout was born in Le Creusot, France.
In February 2010 he signed for USM Blida from Belgian club K.V. Kortrijk and spent a season there.[1] After receiving a contract offer from Championnat National side UJA Alfortville he trialled a few weeks with reigning Scottish Premier League champions Rangers upon the invitation of compatriot Madjid Bougherra.[1]
On 14 March 2011, it was announced that Boutabout had joined Réunion-club AS Excelsior.[2] where he joined up with Algerian coach Farès Bousdira.[3]
Boutabout received his first call-up to the Algeria national team for a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Niger on 11 October 2003.[4] He started the game and scored its only goal in the 62nd minute. A month later, he scored another two goals in the 6–0 win in the return leg against Niger.[5]
Boutabout was subsequently called up to be part of the 2004 African Cup of Nations in Tunisia where he started three games in the competition without scoring a goal before the team lost in the quarter-finals to Morocco.
Boutabout's last cap came on 26 March 2008, in a friendly against DR Congo.[6]
