Patrice Canayer (born April 4, 1961 in Nîmes , France ) is a French handball coach . In the French Ligue 1 he has been coaching Montpellier HB since 1994 .
During his playing days, Canayer played for Spuc Bordeaux and Paris Racing Asnieres .
At the age of 29 he ended his playing career and became a coach at his club. There he remained largely unsuccessful, so that in 1994 he went to Montpellier HB, a club that had only been promoted in 1992 and up to this point had always fought against relegation, but which was predicted to have a great future due to the youth center founded in 1993.
The meteoric rise of Montpellier began with Canayer. The new coach formed national players from young players such as Grégory Anquetil and created a top international team. Montpellier was already champion in the first season, 13 more championships, 12 cup wins and, as the highlight in 2003, winning the EHF Champions League followed . During this time Canayer led all players such as Nikola Karabatić , Jérôme Fernandez and Thierry Omeyer to the top of the world.
In 2004 Patrice Canayer turned down an offer from FC Barcelona to succeed Valero Rivera as coach .
