Jean-Pierre Destrumelle (born January 2, 1941 in Cambrai , † April 24, 2002 in Sartène ) was a French football player and coach .

Player career

As an eight-year-old Destrumelle was accepted into the youth department of FC Rouen , went through all years of this and ran in 1958 for France at the UEFA youth tournament. At the beginning of the season 1959/60 he was accepted into the team of the second division team at the age of 18, but played only one game at a time when substitutions and substitutions were not yet possible. Nevertheless, he had a share in the promotion to the top French division, even if he was not used in this in the following season. In the season from 1961 to 1962, however, he was able to gain first experience in the first division, then advanced to become a regular player and as such entered the relegation battle several times, where he was always able to avert the fall in the second division.

In 1966 the player signed with the previously promoted league competitor Olympique Marseille , with whom he was able to distance himself clearly from the relegation ranks in the league and also reached the national cup final in 1969 . Thanks to a 2-0 win against Girondins Bordeaux , Destrumelle won the first title of his career in the final, in which he was called up. In addition, he played a total of three games at European level between 1968 and 1970. However, after these successes he had to accept that he lost his regular place in the course of the 1969/70 season.

The loss of his position in the first team led the professional to move to the second division club Paris Saint-Germain in 1970 , where he was back in the team. In this way, in 1971 he and the team made it to the top of the league and at the same time announced the end of his career. When the team had to fight hard after promotion, Destrumelle returned again for four games; Paris saved itself athletically, but had to go to the third division due to other misconduct. The then 32-year-old Destrumelle announced the end of his career after 259 first division games with 26 goals and 27 second division games without a goal.

Coaching career

Already in the 1971/72 season Destrumelle had taken over the responsibility as coach of the reserve team in Paris, while he returned to professional football on the side. After his second career end, he took over the relegation-threatened first division club US Valenciennes-Anzin for the winter break in 1972/73 , but could not save them from second division. Despite everything, he kept his position as a coach and led the club as such back in 1975 to the top class. After he had only averted relegation in 1979, since the second division champions FC Gueugnon waived promotion, he left Valenciennes and signed with the likewise first-class SEC Bastia for the same post.

A year later he moved to Olympique Lyon , which he also left a year later. After two years without an employer, he was hired in 1983 at the second division AS Béziers , where he also stayed for a year. He then coached an amateur club before returning to the second division in 1989 with his signature with the US Orléans . In 1991 he retired from professional football and went to Corsica , where he devoted himself to training young players until he died in 2002 at the age of 61.
