Jeanneau played his entire career as a professional in the French Ligue Nationale de Basket , where he won two French championships and three cup competitions "Coupe de France" with Strasbourg IG 2005 and ASVEL 2009. For the French national basketball team , Jeanneau had 56 appearances and was a participant in the finals of the 2006 World Basketball Championship and the 2009 European Basketball Championship , in which the French team finished fifth. After he had reached the finals again with Strasbourg IG 2013 and won a runner-up, he ended his active career.

Career

Jeanneau, who had first learned to play basketball in Saint-Fulgent , moved further east in the Pays de la Loire in 1993 to the youth center in Cholet , whose men's team was promoted to the top French league in 1987. In 1996, Jeanneau won the silver medal with the French U18 junior selection at the European Junior Championships in front of their own audience after a final defeat against Croatia, which was the only team to remain undefeated and the French had already defeated in the opening game. France won all the remaining games, including against the German junior team with Dirk Nowitzki , which ended up in eighth place.

Then in 1996 Jeanneau was included in the squad of the men's team of Cholet Basket, which reached its best final placement in the 1997/98 season with third place in the top division Pro A. In the European club competition Korać-Cup 1997/98 , in which the German representative HERZOGtel Trier had twice defeated in the round of the best 32 teams , they also reached the semi-finals, in which a high 49-81 defeat away in the second leg against KK Roter Stern Belgrade couldn't make up for it. The title in the French cup competition, which the club won in 1998 as the first national title, could be defended the following year. They also reached third place again after the regular season, but were eliminated in the first play-off round for the championship title against regional rivals Le Mans Sarthe Basket . After a fourth place in the final table of the 1999/2000 season, they came third again after a ninth place in 2001 in the 2001/02 season. In the following season, Jeanneau was used for the first time in qualifying for the finals of the EM 2003 in the French men's national team. In the final tournament of the EM 2003, however, Jeanneau was no longer in the squad of the national team when they narrowly missed a medal in fourth place in Sweden.

For the 2003/04 season, Jeanneau Cholet Basket left and moved to Saint Thomas Basket in Le Havre on the northern Atlantic coast of France. After returning to the top national league, this club had reached the play-offs for the championship for the first time in the preseason in eighth place. In the final table 2003/04 they could improve to sixth place, but were eliminated again in the first play-off round. Jeanneau then moved to Alsace with his teammate Jeff Greer to Illkirch-Graffenstaden Basket from Strasbourg . The team of this club had only kept the class after the 2002/03 season by increasing the league. After the team was eliminated in the first play-off round against defending champion EB Pau-Orthez in 2004 , the balance of power had reversed in the 2004/05 season. In the first play-off round you were able to eliminate the sixth from Pau as third in the table and completely dethrone Nancy after winning the championship final over SLUC . Jeff's brother Ricardo Greer was named “ Most Valuable Player ” (MVP) of the final game. In the following season the team played in the highest European club competition ULEB Euroleague 2005/06 , where they could only win three of 14 preliminary round games and were eliminated early. In the French championship this time they lost in the semifinals against SLUC Nancy, who in turn became runner-up. Jeanneau then took part in the 2006 World Cup in Japan with the French national team. After a quarter-final defeat against the eventual runner-up world champion Greece , they were able to defeat the German national team with just two points in the placement round, in which Jeanneau was no longer used, and finally came in fifth.

After the 2005/06 season, the Greer brothers and Jeanneau left the Alsatian club and the latter moved to the French record champions ASVEL in Villeurbanne . In the French championship 2006/07 Jeanneau defeated his former club from Strasbourg with ASVEL in the first play-off round, but was eliminated, then again from Jeanneau's point of view, in the semifinals against runner-up SLUC Nancy. In the 2007/08 season they won the cup competition and were eliminated in the semifinals again against the club from Nancy, which was reinforced with the Greer brothers and won its first championship title in the final series. In the following season 2008/09 you could not be stopped as the main round first in the play-offs when you finally defeated defending champion SLUC Nancy in the semifinals and won the 17th championship and the first since 2002 for the club. Then Jeanneau was appointed by his club coach Vincent Collet together with his teammate Ali Traoré for the final squad of the national team of the European Championship 2009 . At the final tournament in Poland, however, Jeanneau received little playing time as a supplementary player with just under eight minutes of play time per game when France moved into the quarter-finals without defeat. Here, however, they suffered their only tournament defeat against the world champion Spain , who had started weakly in the tournament , which, however, was quite high with a difference of 20 points. After two wins in the placement round you had the best record of all participating teams, but had to make do with fifth place. In the 2009/10 season, ASVEL failed in the ULEB Euroleague 2009/10 after three preliminary round victories in a direct comparison with three other teams just barely making it into the intermediate round of the 16 best teams. In the national championship they won the league cup "Semaine de As", but missed the play-offs and defending their title as ninth in the table.

For the 2010/11 season, Jeanneau returned to Strasbourg IG in Alsace, who had just held the class as third from last of the previous season and also brought Ricardo Greer back from the 2005 championship team. In a balanced field of participants, Strasbourg IG, like four other teams, only won twelve season victories in 30 games and was able to place it in eleventh place in the final table. Then national coach Collet was club coach in Strasbourg, which could only slightly improve to tenth place in the 2011/12 season. For the 2012/13 season, in addition to Ricardo's brother Jeff, another member of the 2005 championship team, Louis Campbell was brought to the other side of the Rhine from the German basketball league . After a second place in the regular season, they remained unbeaten in the play-offs and moved into the final series for the championship, which was played for the first time in the " best-of-five " mode instead of in a single final game. After a convincing opening win in the final series with 34 points difference, they lost the following to the surprise finalist JSF Nanterre , who had also been unbeaten in the play-offs and who had reached the play-offs in eighth place only because of the better direct comparison for the first time after the previous year's rise three games and had to be content with the runner-up. Jeanneau had already announced his retirement at the end of the season before the finals. After the end of his career, Jeanneau wants to get involved in the organization of the club in Strasbourg.
