Jean-Pierre Brucato

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean-Pierre Brucato (born April 7, 1944 in Créteil , † March 14, 1998 in Rennes ) was a French football player and coach .

Career

The only 1.69 m tall full-back played as a youth at CO Joinville in the vicinity of Paris and received a professional contract in 1962 from the first division partner Stade Rennes UC . The highlight of his time there was reaching the Cup final in 1965 against UA Sedan-Torcy , in which he was not used. It ended after extra time 2: 2, and replay four days later changed coach Jean Prouff the team on exactly one position: for René Cedolin he sat on Jean-Pierre Brucato, who after 3 in 1 win to Brittany celebrated "Cup heroes" belonged to. Nevertheless, he then moved to the second-rate capital city club Racing Paris , which, however, was effectively dissolved twelve months later through its merger with Sedan-Torcy. Then Brucato moved on to the second division AC Ajaccio , with whom at the end of the 1966/67 season the promotion to the first division succeeded. He was a regular player in Corsica until 1970.

Then he was signed by the traditional French club Stade Reims , which had been included in Division 1 at the “green table” at the expense of Ajaccio, and in Champagne , Jean-Pierre Brucato developed alongside players like René Masclaux and Jean-François Jodar , the brothers Bernard and Georges Lech and the Argentines Delio Onnis , Carlos Bianchi and José Santiago Santamaría to an indispensable size. With his 221 point games in red and white dress, Brucato occupies tenth place in the club's " eternal list of top division record players " into the 21st century . He was unable to win a title with Reims, however, so he moved on to league rivals SCO Angers in the summer of 1976 - and thereby missed out on another cup final . Instead, he rose with Angers in 1977 and rose again a year later. In 1979 the now 35-year-old went to an amateur club, the "Railway Association" from Thouars, after a total of 420 top division games for one season .

From Brucato's subsequent coaching time, only two stations can currently be determined: at the beginning of the 1980s he worked for Stade Saint-Brieuc and thus again in Brittany, and in the mid-1990s he coached another lower-class club for a season with Olympique Alès . He then lived in Rennes , where he died at the age of 53.
