Lazare Gianessi (born November 9, 1925 in Aniche , Département Nord , † August 11, 2009 in Concarneau ) was a French football player of Italian origin.

Club career

The son of an Italian miner started as a striker in the youth teams of CS Avion and RC Lens , then played from 1946 to the amateur club Olympique Saint-Quentin and was 1949 by Erstdivisionär CO Roubaix-Tourcoing obliged the two years before surprising the French championship titles won . On the advice of the player-coach of CORT, goalkeeper Julien Darui , Lazare Gianessi trained on a more defensive position around and played as a right defender or external rotor .

The maneuverability and sobriety of the player, who was also equipped with good ball technique, helped him to become a regular in the national team from the end of 1952 . Since Roubaix-Tourcoing completed in these years at most in the middle of the league table - an eighth place in the 1951/52 season was the best placement - Gianessi moved to the first division promoted AS Monaco at the beginning of the 1953/54 season . Almost a year and a half later, a serious and protracted lung disease interrupted the career of the 29-year-old. It was only three and a half years later that he was recovered to the point where he could lace up his football boots again. Whether he actually played for another year at RC Lens and CO Roubaix-Tourcoing , as can be read on the website of the French association , is questionable: at least in Division 1 he was no longer used there. However, after 1958 he was still active as a player- coach at the Breton amateur clubs L'Hermine and US Concarneau , where he also ended his career. At the age of 83, he also died in Concarneau .
