Christian Bracconi (born November 25, 1960 in Constantine , Algeria ) is a former French football player and current coach.

Player career

Born in Algeria, Bracconi began his career at a small club in Corsica , where he lived from an early age. From there he moved to SEC Bastia and from 1977 to 1980 went through the INF training center in Vichy , which provides a third division team. After he had been used regularly for this in his last season in Vichy, he returned to Bastia and was accepted into the first division squad. Although he did not get beyond his first division debut, which he was able to celebrate, in the 1980/81 season, he won the Coupe de France with the team and thus his first title. However, he had no part in the 2-1 final victory against AS Saint-Étienne . Although Roger Milla was set by storm and a number of other players competed for missions on the offensive, Bracconi ran a total of eleven times in his second season and scored his first three goals in the French top division. After only five missions in the following season, however, he decided in 1983 to move to the second division RC Besançon . He played a difficult season due to injuries, before he made his breakthrough in 1984 and he became a regular player. With the end of his contract, he decided to return to the first division and signed with FC Metz . Despite a well-staffed team, he was used regularly, albeit mostly as a joker. In this way he was also used in the cup final in 1988 , when he was substituted on in extra time and with his goal on penalties contributed to winning the cup and thus to his second title. In the same year he returned to the club, which was now relegated to the second division and renamed SC Bastia. To a declining number of missions came some injuries that led him to end his active career in 1991 at the age of 30.

Coaching career

Immediately after the end of his playing career, Bracconi began his career as a trainer at a small Corsican club. This was followed by an engagement as a U-17 coach at his former club from Bastia between 1998 and 2001. From 2001 to 2002 he was assistant to the coach at FC Metz and then headed the training at another club from Corsica, before he was hired as the reserve coach at SC Bastia in 2005. There he took over the management of the youth department in 2009. He held this position from 2010 at AJ Auxerre and then at AC Ajaccio . At Ajaccio, Bracconi took over the training of the first division eleven on an interim basis after the dismissal of Fabrizio Ravanelli on November 2, 2013. The duration of the transitional activity was extended to several months.

On December 4, 2019, he was signed by the Belgian second division Royal Excelsior Virton as the new coach.
