Club career
Having joined Sheffield United in 2006 from Stade de Reims Chanot became a regular in the academy and reserves sides. The aggressive, athletic central defender joined Mansfield Town on loan on 4 October 2008,{{cite news |title = Stags loan Blades teenager |url = http://www.sufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~1412389,00.html |publisher = www.sufc.premiumtv.co.uk |date = 4 October 2008 |accessdate = 7 October 2008 |url-status = dead |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20081008015837/http://www.sufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~1412389,00.html |archivedate = 8 October 2008}} and made his debut for Mansfield in the 1–0 defeat against Woking despite picking up man of the match award. He returned to Bramall Lane having played five games for The Stags. As the Blades looked to cut costs, having failed to gain promotion, Chanot was released at the end of the 2008–09 season.{{cite news |title=Double player boost |url=http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~1674929,00.html |publisher=Sheffield United F.C. |date=28 May 2009 |accessdate=31 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090530192951/http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10418~1674929%2C00.html |archivedate=30 May 2009}}
In November 2009 he signed a two-year contract with French Ligue 1 side Le Mans FC. He then moved on a season-long loan to FC Gueugnon in 2010.
In September 2011, Chanot signed a one-year deal for Belgium team White Star Woluwe FC, which was successively extended for one more season. Sport/Foot Magazine named him among the twenty best second division football players of the league. His great performances drew the attention of a Division 1 Belgium team, Beerschot AC which signed him in 2013.

Chanot continued to impress and was offered a contract by another Division 1 Belgium team, KV Kortrijk. Chanot was named several times best defender of the Belgium championship.{{Cite news|url=http://sportmagazine.levif.be/sport/foot-national/le-top-10-des-meilleurs-joueurs-de-la-1e-journee/article-normal-407413.html|title=Le Top 10 des meilleurs joueurs de la 1e journée|date=27 July 2015|access-date=4 April 2017}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.footnews.be/news/1459/Voici_l%C3%A9quipe_FootNews_de_lAnn%C3%A9e_2015!|title=Voici l'équipe FootNews de l'Année 2015!|access-date=4 April 2017}} Despite being chased by many clubs, especially Queen Park Rangers and Chievo Verona,{{Cite news|url=http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/05/15/report-qpr-chasing-luxembourg-international-maxime-chanot/|title=Report: QPR chasing Luxembourg international Maxime Chanot|last=Nash|first=Mathew|work=Here Is The City|access-date=4 April 2017|language=en}} he decided to join New York City FC coached by Patrick Vieira.
