Career

In the club

Jean-François Gillet played in the youth department of Standard Liège until 1996 , for which he played only a few games in three years. In 1999 he left Belgium and signed with AC Monza Brianza in Italy. At Monza he was able to establish himself quickly as a regular goalkeeper and managed to stay in Serie B with the Lombards . He then moved to AS Bari , where he had to relegate from Serie A after a weak first season . 2001 Gillet was after on nandrolone positive doping test banned for four months. He was able to establish himself in the next six seasons in Italy's second-highest division with the Galletti , as the club is called in Italy. The Belgian was loaned to FBC Treviso for the 2003/04 season because of differences with the club's then coach Marco Tardelli .

While Gillet with Bari just missed promotion in the 2004/05 season, he stayed with the Apuli in 2006/07 just above the relegation ranks. The results of AS Bari improved, the following season ended with 55 points in 11th place. In the 2008/09 season with 80 points, Gillet was able to climb up to Serie A with ease, and Gillet received only 30 goals in 40 games. He remained loyal to Bari for a long time. With over 320 league games (93 games in Serie A, 229 games in Serie B) he is the club's record player ahead of Giovanni Loseto (318) and Mario Mazzoni (313). In addition, he temporarily held the captaincy of the Apulians.

After relegation in 2011, he left the club and joined FC Bologna . He stayed here for only a year, moving to Turin in summer 2012 . After a season as a regular goalkeeper with the Turin team, he was suspended for 43 months by the disciplinary chamber of the Italian Football Association ( FIGC ) on July 16, 2013 for match-fixing. During his time at AS Bari, he had manipulated two games against Treviso (2008) and Salernitana (2009). In January 2014 this suspension was reduced to 13 months, so that he could return to professional football in August 2014. During the suspension he was still under contract in Turin, Daniele Padelli was in goal instead . After the ban had expired, Gillet was unable to regain his regular place. Therefore, he switched to Catania Calcio in Serie B after the first half of the 2014/15 season , where he played again regularly.

In the 2015/2016 season, Gillet was loaned from Catania Calcio to KV Mechelen . After this loan expired, he moved back to Standard Liège. In the 2017/18 season he was mainly used in the Belgian Cup, which he also won that season. Since the first cup game in the 2018/19 Cup round against RFC Knokke on September 26, 2018, Gillet was no longer on the pitch for Standard.

Nevertheless, in mid-June 2020, his contract was extended by one year to summer 2021. At the same time, Gillet is training to be a goalkeeper coach. He is to take on this task in summer 2021.

In the national team

Gillet made his debut on September 5, 2009 in the World Cup qualifier against Spain for the Belgian national football team . The debut failed completely and Gillet had to take a 5-0 bankruptcy after conceding five goals. In the game against Armenia that followed four days later, Gillet lost to the Belgians. In his third appearance for Belgium on November 14, 2009, he celebrated a win for the first time and was the first time without conceding a 3-0 home win over Hungary. The goalkeeper also survived the game against Qatar three days later without conceding a goal.

Gillet played his last international match against Slovakia in February 2013 before being suspended for match fixing. After this period he was nominated for the national team for the first time in September 2014. Before that, however, he had missed the 2014 World Cup .

Coach Marc Wilmots nominated Gillet as a second reserve goalkeeper for the Belgian squad of UEFA EURO 2016 in France, where he was not used.
