Claude Dubaële

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claude Dubaële (born January 19, 1940 in Lens ) is a former French football player and coach .

Player career

Claude Dubaële came to the European top club Stade Reims as a teenager . For the first time, his coach Albert Batteux used the 17-year-old in a game in the first division in October 1957 , and that in the away game against the Racing Club from Dubai's native city. In 1958 he was third in the European Junior Championship with the French A youth selection . Nevertheless, he played mostly in Reims' amateur team up to and including the 1961/62 season, but whenever Batteux needed him for the first team, he showed his qualities there as an offensive, goal - scoring outside runner or half-striker . In 1959/60, for example, he scored an equally large number of goals in three missions - all in the two encounters against Racing Strasbourg . As a supplementary player in 1958, 1960 and 1962 he was three times French champion .

It was not until the 1962/63 season, which Stade Reims finished with the runner-up, that he finally prevailed at the Rémois and was joined by eight French goalkeepers Colonna , the defensive forces Wendling , Rodzik , Siatka , Kaelbel and the attackers Kopa , Vincent , Sauvage  - as well as a Moroccan international ( Akesbi ) as a regular on the league team. In 28 league games, Claude Dubaële scored 13 goals, making him the second best striker of the Rémois after Akesbi. The half-forward also hit the opponent's net in the 5-0 win over Austria Wien in the European Cup , but was missing in the subsequent quarter-finals against Feyenoord Rotterdam . In the summer of 1963, Camille Cottin replaced Batteux as coach, and Dubaële's career continued to develop positively: in Casablanca , after Stade's final victory over AC Milan, he won the Coupe Mohamed V ; He was also in the starting line-up in the first two games in Division 1 . After that, Cottin did not consider him anymore and the club sold him to league rivals Stade Rennes UC at the end of the year ; so at least he was spared Reims' surprising relegation at the end of the season.

In Brittany , Dubaële quickly bonded with his new teammates, won the French Cup in 1964/65 and placed 14th in the D1 top scorer list with 12 goals. In the league, Rennes was able to finish in the top places in 1965 and 1966 (fourth and sixth respectively), but failed early in the European Cup Winners' Cup to Dukla Prague ; Claude Dubaële then switched to SCO Angers . His first season got off to a good start there too - the team finished third in the table in 1966/67 and the striker was even among the top ten goalscorers with 15 goals. A sudden sporting crash followed, however, and Angers had to contest the 1968/69 season in the second division . After the immediate resurgence, Dubaëles Elf played in the top third of the table.

In 1970 he committed a second division club from his home in northern France to Lille OSC , with whom he was promoted to Division 1 in 1971, but was promptly relegated again in 1972. It cannot be determined whether Claude Dubaële then switched to the second division US Le Mans straight away or only a year later . When Le Mans finished the season as a relegated third class in 1974, he ended his playing career. In addition to playing for the U-19s, Dubaële has also played for the French U-23 , student, military and amateur national teams, but never for the A-Eleven .

Coaching career

Immediately after finishing his engagement at Le Mans , he returned to Rennes and initially headed the youth and training center (center de formation) of Stade UC. In 1976 he was appointed head coach of the league eleven, which, however, was relegated to the second division at the end of the season; the club presidium still gave Dubaële the confidence. However, when the club had to undergo liquidation proceedings in early 1978 , he could no longer employ the coach.

Claude Dubaële found a new job in 1979 at AS Red Star , which is steeped in tradition but at the time only competed in the fifth highest division , where the now 39-year-old also put on his football boots again and achieved immediate promotion with his team in the role of player coach. As another coaching station, Dubaële's involvement with AS Montferrand is documented. What became of him after that cannot be determined at the moment.
