François Brisson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

François Brisson (born April 9, 1958 in Saintes ) is a former French football player and current coach .

Club career

The left winger , described as fast and snappy, was a "wanderer": in his 18 professional years he wore the dress of seven top division clubs . The longest he was under contract with Paris Saint-Germain , he was most successful with Racing Lens . He could not enter a championship title in his palmarès - with Olympique Marseille he managed at least one runner-up in 1987 - like a cup victory . As Marseille also in 1987 the final for the Coupe de France with 0: 2 against Girondins Bordeauxlost, François Brisson was not in the final eleven: he had certain problems there because he was not able to cope very well with his frequent use in defensive midfield .

Further stations were Stade Laval , Racing Strasbourg , Olympique Lyon and OSC Lille . Overall, he still brought it to over 500 games in Division 1 , which makes him one of the small group of record players in the league . Brisson appeared three times at the top of the list of goalscorers : in 1983/84 he was 7th (16 hits), in 1984/85 20th (11 hits, both years with Lens) and in 1990/91 (now playing for Lille) 10th place with 10 goals. With Lens he also had his only appearances on the European club stage in the 1983/84 season, namely in the UEFA Cup , when Lens met three Belgian teams ( KAA Gent , Royal Antwerp and RSC Anderlecht ) in succession .

In the national team

In November 1982 and October 1984 François Brisson played two A internationals for France ; he did not get a hit. Overall, the national coaches of the 1980s, Hidalgo and his successor Michel , were not so convinced of his qualities to call him on more often. At the 1984 Olympic soccer tournament in Los Angeles, however, Brisson was used regularly and won the gold medal with France. There he also scored two goals, namely in the preliminary round the 1-0 in the 2-1 win over Norway and the 1-0 in the 2-0 final win against Brazil .

Life after player time

From 1994, François Brisson worked as a coach, first at an amateur club from Montauban (until 1997) before it in different functions in the coaching staff of RC Lens worked - 1999/2000 even as a head coach, and quite successful: in the UEFA Cup , he led the "Sang et Or" - the northern French footballers are known as blood red and gold because of their dress colors - up to the semi-finals against Arsenal London . On the way there, Brisson's men eliminated, among others, 1. FC Kaiserslautern , which they downright ran over 4-1 after a 1: 2 first leg defeat in their own stadium on the Betzenberg . In the summer of 2000, however, the coach stepped back in the second row. 2002/03 brought him the third division Olympique Nîmes ; then Brisson returned to Racing Lens.
