Gautheroux as a player

Jean Gautheroux (often Jean Gauteroux ; born February 11, 1904 or February 11, 1909 in Lalinde , Dordogne department , † October 14, 1986 ) was a French football player and coach .

Club career

The 177 centimeter tall defensive midfielder Gautheroux wore the jersey of the capital club CA Paris from 1927 and made it into the national cup final in 1928 . He took part in the final, but had to bury his title dreams by a 1: 3 defeat against city rivals Red Star Olympique . In 1929 it was another important club from the capital, the Racing Club de France , that signed him. With this he reached the cup final in 1930 , but it was lost 3-1 to FC Sète . 1932 succeeded in qualifying for Division 1 , which was introduced in the same year as the nationwide top division and professional league . At a time when substitutions and substitutions were not yet possible, the player initially held an undisputed regular place, but he lost it in 1933. Although he could not fight back the place in the first eleven permanently, he remained loyal to the club and thus counted despite only sporadic missions to the team that won the national championship in 1936. Racing also won the cup final in 1936 , but Gautheroux himself was not part of the team that won the trophy by beating FCO Charleville 1-0 .

Also in 1936, the midfielder turned his back on Paris and moved to the first division club Excelsior AC Roubaix in the far north of the country. There he was one of the top performers for a season before losing that role again. This caused him to move to relegation-threatened league and local rivals RC Roubaix in the summer of 1938 . In this he came in the first half of the 1938/39 season not over two missions, so he left the club on January 1, 1939 and moved to his former employer CA Paris in the second division. For this he ran again on a regular basis, but he had to witness the cessation of regular game operations in September 1939 due to the beginning of the Second World War . At the same time he moved to city rivals Red Star Olympique, against whom he had once lost the cup final, where he received the post of player-coach and took part with the team in the unofficially still taking place in the championship. In 1940 he ended his active career after 89 first division games and 13 second division games, each without scoring. At the same time, his coaching ended.

National team

Gautheroux was on February 23, 1930 in a 2-0 defeat in a friendly against Portugal for the first time for the French national team on the field. For the World Cup in 1930 , which took place a few months later , he was not taken into account and had to wait until December 13, 1936 to play another game for the team in an encounter against Yugoslavia. This second mission after more than six years of interruption was also his last.

Between 1960 and 1962, the former player, in the role of a Sélectionneur, was jointly responsible for the nomination of the national team, while Albert Batteux was the coach of the team. His withdrawal took place in 1962 in view of the failed qualification for the World Cup in the same year .
