Camille Cottin (soccer player)

Player career

No information is yet available about the beginnings of Camille Cottin's career. With the introduction of professionalism and a national league in French football (1932), he was under contract with the Peugeot - "factory club" FC Sochaux . In his first season there, the striker was one of the top scorers in his eleven with six goals. He then moved to runner-up AS Cannes , who ended the season only in tenth place in the 14th league. He then joined the traditional racing club Racing Roubaix in 1934 , which at that time only played in the second division . Cottin made 13 missions and three hits in 1934/35; a year later , with 16 goals in 32 games, he had a significant share in Racing's second place in the table, which also meant promotion to Division 1 . Also in the footballing "upper house" he stormed quite successfully for the northern French placed in 12th place in the final table (1936/37: 28 point games with seven goals). In 1938 he left Roubaix and hired the second division Stade Reims , where he was also part of the regular formation alongside the young Albert Batteux ; even in Reims' surprising advance into the cup quarter-finals after a success over AS Saint-Étienne , he was on the lawn. Shortly before the outbreak of war , however, it was given to Racing Strasbourg ; this was his last season as a "player only".

Coaching career

1940 Camille Cottin returned to Stade Reims and worked there during the (now considered unofficial competitions) "war championships" as a player-coach for the club that was included in the northern group of the first division; a year later he was replaced in this role by Jules Vandooren , and Cottin coached two amateur clubs in Saumur and Cholet ( CO Cholet ). From 1949 he worked for the second division SCO Angers , where he "brought" the greatest talent in French football at the time, Raymond Kopa , and continued to develop it until 1951. In the following ten years he coached the amateur FC Limoges , from 1955 the first division club FC Nancy , which was relegated to the second division in 1957, and then, not far from his birthplace, the lower class US Blanzy-Montceau .

In the summer of 1963, the Stade Reims, which had meanwhile risen to the highest European level, signed him as the successor to successful coach Albert Batteux; Camille Cottin was unable to cope with this difficult task successfully in view of numerous injuries to important players (Kopa, Piantoni , Rodzik and Wendling ). In the middle of the season, Jean Prouff was appointed a "technical advisor" - and was so unable to relegate last year's runner-up prevent like the premature exit of the Rémois in the European Cup . What became of Cottin after 1964 cannot yet be determined.
