Jean-Claude Piumi (1989)

Jean-Claude Piumi (born May 27, 1940 in Giraumont (Meurthe-et-Moselle) , † March 24, 1996 in Fréjus ) was a French football player and coach .

Player career

In the club

The son of Italian immigrants grew up in the Lorraine iron ore basin and played there as a teenager at AS Giraumont , from which another professional footballer emerged at this time in Bronislav Rodzik . Jean-Claude Piumi was already on the same team there with Serge Masnaghetti , and in 1959 they both moved to the US Valenciennes . Piumi, mainly set up as a middle or outside runner , quickly developed into a "pillar in the defense " during the sporting " Belle Époque " of the northern French in the 1960s and soon formed a renowned pair of runners together with Joseph Bonnel . Under coach Robert Domergue , the USVA placed itself in 1960 and again from 1963 to 1969 always on a single-digit table rank of Division 1 , twice (1965 and 1966) as a league third even within reach of the championship title . In between there was only one year in the second division in 1961/62 , in which Piumi was so convincing that he was appointed to the national team as a second division player (see below) .

Also in the cup competition he made two very good strides with Valenciennes, without the great success jumping out of it. In the semi-finals of the 1963/64 season, Olympique Lyon prevented the final after Piumis Elf had previously been able to turn off AS Saint-Étienne , FC Nancy and FC Rouen . And in 1969/70 it was only FC Nantes , again in the semi-finals, that stopped the USVA's triumphant advance. The club had escaped relegation as bottom of the table in the championship in 1970 only because Division 1 was then increased to 20 participants. For Jean-Claude Piumi, however, this was the time for his only change within his professional career, when he went to AS Monaco and thus voluntarily into the second division. Only twelve months later he returned with the Monegasque to the upper house of football and had also succeeded in the cup when the second division only had to bow to the eventual cup winner Stade Rennais UC in the round of the last eight teams . When Monaco had to leave Division 1 in 1972 , Piumi stayed on the Côte d'Azur and laced his boots - although officially no longer for payment - for the traditional Stade Raphaëlois . There he also ended his time as a player.

Stations

  • Association Sportive de Giraumont (as a teenager, until 1959)
  • Union Sportive de Valenciennes-Anzin (1959-1970, of which 1961/62 in D2)
  • Association Sportive de Monaco (1970–1972, of which 1970/71 in D2)
  • Stade Raphaëlois (1972/73, below D2)

In the national team

Jean-Claude Piumi was used between May 1962 and June 1967 in four full international matches for the French national team . On his debut against Italy in Florence he managed the temporary opening goal of the Bleus with a sharp left-footed shot . Even if the game was lost 2-1 in the end and this was his only goal in the blue jersey, the son of Italian parents considered the participation and especially his goal against Lorenzo Buffon as a highlight of his career. At the World Cup finals in 1966 , he was in the French squad , but was not used in England. It was not until 1967 that national coach Just Fontaine brought him back to two games in the Équipe tricolore .

Work as a trainer

After his playing days, Piumi completed his coaching training and worked from 1973 to 1977 in this role at the amateur club AS Mantes . With this fifth division team, he surprisingly succeeded in making it into the round of the best 64 teams in the 1976/77 season. In 1996 Jean-Claude Piumi died at the age of 55 after a long illness in Fréjus ; he was buried in Mantes-la-Jolie .
