Cédric Carrasso (born December 30, 1981 in Avignon ) is a French football goalkeeper . His younger brother Johann Carrasso is also active as a professional goalkeeper in France.
Career
At the age of 13, he was accepted into the Youth Academy of Olympique Marseille . After five years of training, he signed his first professional contract there. As was to be expected, he didn't play a single game and was loaned to English second division club Crystal Palace a year and a half later , where he only played one game. In the following season he returned to Olympique Marseille as number 2 behind the then goalkeeper Vedran Runje . In 2003 he seriously injured his knee and was absent for several months. Before the 2004/05 season he was loaned to the French second division side En Avant de Guingamp . There Carrasso was number 1 in goal from the start and increasingly advanced to become a top performer. When he returned to his club Olympique Marseille a year later, he guarded the gate for the long-term suspended Fabien Barthez . He was convincing all along the line and became the goalkeeper of the southern French after Fabien Barthez's contract ended after the 2006 World Cup in Germany .
His performances at the start of the 2007-08 season were also promising, prompting Olympique Marseille to extend his contract until 2011. But after just four games, Carrasso injured himself in training on August 22, 2007. A torn Achilles tendon put him out of action for almost five months. Since mid-January 2008, the man from Avignon has found himself back in the squad, but not yet on the pitch. His representative Steve Mandanda did an excellent job and thus continued to guard the gate of the southern French. Mandanda and not, as once expected, Carrasso was also appointed to the French national team. In the summer of 2008 he therefore decided to move to Toulouse, where he became a regular again. At the end of his first season at TFC, he was awarded the Étoile d'Or as the season's best goalkeeper in the league and in early 2009 also received a first appointment to the extended A-squad of the Équipe tricolore .
On July 1, 2009, Carrasso moved to the championship and Champions League participant Girondins Bordeaux . Carrasso played for Girondins Bordeaux for eight years. His contract expired at the end of the 2016/17 season. Galatasaray Istanbul signed the goalkeeper on the last day of the summer transfer window. At Galatasaray he came to a league game and at the end of the season he became Turkish champions with Galatasaray.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa , he was part of the French squad, but did not appear as the third goalkeeper. Even after that he was a regular member of the Bleus squad ; but it lasted until June 2011, before he was allowed to make his debut in a friendly game in Poland - then even in the starting line-up.
