Ghislaine Baron

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ghislaine Baron (born June 2, 1966 in Avranches , † February 28, 2019 in or near Villedieu-les-Poêles ) was a French football player and coach .

Club career

Little is known from the sources available about the early years of Ghislaine Baron's career, especially about her "first steps" in girls' football and the clubs she played for during this time. What is certain is that in 1988 she moved from FCF Condéen to Chaffoteaux Sports Saint-Brieuc , to whose first team she was from then on. But by then she was already 22, and especially in the early days of modern women's football, talented players were often used in adult play at 16 or 17. In any case, in the 1988/89 season the left defender was part of the regular formation at Saint-Brieuc - and also made her debut in the national jersey (see below)  - in the competition for the French championship , which at the time was still a final round based on the knockout system after two successes against Omnium Sports Monaco moved into the semi-finals. In this, the Breton women clearly prevailed against JS Poissy, thanks in particular to their dangerous duo Le Boulch / Jézéquel . A penalty shoot-out was required in the final , in which the ASJ Soyaux players missed, while Saint-Brieuc converted all five penalties and then received the championship trophy.

In the following two years Ghislaine Baron and her teammates were eliminated in the last eight women's teams - each against the eventual title winner - but in 1991/92 they reached the final again. In it they were defeated by Juvisy FCF 2: 3. For Baron this was also the last appearance in the dress of the CSSB, because although the club had qualified for the highest French women's division (Championnat National 1 A) , which started a few months later , she switched to league competitor JS Poissy. With their women's team, she finished the following three seasons in the lower middle of the table.

In 1995 she moved to Stade Quimper in Brittany , and in 1996 she joined a lower class team from La Mancellière-sur-Vire in her Norman region of origin before taking a two-year break. In 1999 she lived and played again in Brittany, one season for OC Vannes and two more at Stade Quimper, in the 2000/01 season even again in the first division. There she played the role of player- coach. In the women's cup competition, which was held for the first time , she still achieved a respectable success when Quimper's women advanced to the quarter- finals. After the immediate return to the top division was not successful, the 36-year-old worked from 2002 to 2004 near Limoges as a coach of the amateur club US Entente Couzeix-Chaptelat .

Ghislaine Baron died after a long illness at the turn of the month from February to March 2019 near Saint-Lô . Her former teammate in the national dress and today's vice-president of the Fédération Française de Football , Brigitte Henriques , praised her as a “persistent warrior” on the field, who at the same time “always spread a good mood” among her teammates.

In the national team

Ghislaine Baron played 23 international matches for France between April 1989 and September 1993 , in which the defender also scored her only goal in the 7-1 win against the USSR in April 1990 - as did her team-mate on the right defensive side, Véronique Nowak .

Baron made his debut at an international women's tournament on the occasion of a 2-0 defeat by China in Varna , Bulgaria , and coach Aimé Mignot then regularly included them in his starting lineup. However, she never took part in a continental championship final because France was unable to qualify for it in those years. Her last match for the Bleues was a 2-1 win against Russia - almost one year to the day after their penultimate - when Mignot replaced her at half-time for Bernadette Constantin . Ghislaine Baron also played twice against women's national teams from German-speaking countries, and both were defeats against Germany (2-0 in March 1991 and 7-0 in September 1992).
