Philippe Bergeroo (born January 13, 1954 in Ciboure , Département Pyrénées-Atlantiques ) is a former French soccer goalkeeper and current soccer coach .

Player career

Bergeroo began his career in 1969 at Saint-Jean de Luz. In 1971 he came to Girondins Bordeaux at the age of 17 . He stayed until 1978 and then he moved to Lille OSC . In Lille , the goalie kept the box until 1983. He could not win a title in Lille either. In 1983 he moved to Toulouse FC , the last five years of his career at club level were also empty and in 1988 Bergeroo ended his career.

Internationally, he played three times for France. He took part in the European Football Championship in 1984 in his own country, where he was European champion as a substitute goalkeeper. He also took part in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico , again as a substitute goalkeeper. France finished third.

Coaching career

After his active career, Bergeroo became a coach. He began his coaching career at the national sports institute INSEP. In 1990 he joined the men's national team as a goalkeeping coach. Among other things, he was responsible for making Fabien Barthez fit for the 1998 World Cup in his own country. Bergeroo also received a winner's medal after winning the world championship in 1998. In that year he became assistant coach of Paris Saint-Germain and in 1999 took over as head coach in Paris . In 2002 he briefly coached Stade Rennes and was also only active for a short time for the French U-16 team the following year. In the same year he finally came as a coach to France's U-17s, where he held his post until 2004 and then did not occupy any significant positions for a few years. In 2007, the French Football Association hired him again as U-16 team boss, but he was only in this position again for one year. From 2009 to 2010 he coached the U-19 team in his home country and has continued to work as a consultant and trainer for the French association ever since.

On July 30, 2013, the top of the association decided to entrust him with the role of women's national coach instead of Bruno Bini . Bergeroo had a successful debut there, as the women he trained did not win until his eighth game and qualified for the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada without losing points . In the fall of 2014, FIFA included him in their shortlist for World Women's Coach of the Year. After the 2016 Summer Olympics , Bergeroo was dismissed as national coach and replaced by Olivier Echouafni, who had previously been inexperienced in women's football .
