Grégory Coupet (born December 31, 1972 in Le Puy-en-Velay , Haute-Loire department ) is a former French football player .
The club career
Coupet plays in the position of goalkeeper . He began his adult career in 1990 at AS Saint-Étienne , for which he played 66 first division games and which he left after relegation. Since 1996 he has been in the ranks of Olympique Lyon , with whom he won the championship title seven times in a row .
After the European Championship in 2008 he, who still had a contract until 2010, wanted to end his career abroad and moved to Spain to Atlético Madrid . After he could not displace Leo Franco for a season , he returned to Ligue 1 and succeeded Mickaël Landreau at Paris Saint-Germain in 2009 . After coach Antoine Kombouaré soon preferred Apoula Edel in league games and Coupet almost only used in cup games, the goalkeeper said after PSG's semi-final in the league cup in mid-January 2011 that this was his last game. However, at the beginning of February he was back in the Paris goal in the cup round of 16 at FC Martigues and then in point games.
The national player
Coupet made his debut for the French national team on June 1, 2001 during the Confederations Cup . Since then he has been in goal for the Équipe Tricolore a total of 34 times .
At both the 2002 World Cup and the 2004 European Championship , Coupet was in France's squad, but was not used during either tournament. At the 2006 World Cup , Coupet was again only number 2. When winning the Confederations Cup in 2003 , he came to two missions. At the European Championship finals in 2008 , he was No. 1 in the French squad . The French were eliminated in the group stage and Coupet was used in three games.
