Olivier Borel (born April 27, 1954 in Joigny ) is a former French football player .

Career

Borel started playing football in his hometown of Joigny and moved to the Olympique Nîmes training center as a teenager . In Nîmes he moved up in 1974 as a 20-year-old in the squad of the first division team, but was not used in this. Accordingly, it was easy for the second division AJ Auxerre with his coach Guy Roux to poach the player in 1975. A large number of competitors made it difficult for him to establish himself in the team, so that he made his professional debut, but only made four appearances. After the second year in Auxerre had been similar, Borel benefited in 1977 from the departure of Christian Roque . Even if he did not take an undisputed regular place, from then on he played significantly more often alongside Lucien Denis and was on the field from the start in the 1979 cup final , in which the second division had played. Because the game was lost 4-1, Borel had to wait another year for the first title of his career, which he won with the second division championship in 1980.

The player worked as a regular until he broke his ankle towards the end of the game . Borel recovered and was able to celebrate his first division debut in the 1980/81 season. Nevertheless, he did not manage to re-establish himself in the team and ended his career as a professional footballer in 1982 after 11 first and 79 second division games at the age of 28. He then worked for Crédit Agricole , where he had already started training during his injury break through the mediation of his coach Guy Roux.
