Sébastien Chabbert (born May 15, 1978 in Pau ) is a French football goalkeeper . Since 2010 he has been under contract with AS Monaco with games in Ligue 1 , the top division in French football , and is also used sporadically for their reserve team with games in the fourth-class CFA .

Club career

Career start at FC Pau and AS Cannes

Chabbert, who was born in Pau in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department on the border with Spain in the spring of 1978, began his active career as a goalkeeper in the youth division of his home club, FC Pau , to which he belonged until the age of around 16 and 17. At this time he joined the youth department of AS Cannes , where he was initially only used in the youth team at the club from the coastal city and from around 1996/97 also in the B team. Although he was part of the B-team until his next club change after the end of the 1998/99 season, he was brought into the professional team for the first time as a substitute goalkeeper in the 1997/98 season . In this season still without use he rose with the team as the last place in Division 1 in the second division . There, however, he should establish himself in the coming season with 24 appearances as a regular goalkeeper, where he also made his professional debut at the same time. With 24 league appearances, he represented the team's 1 goalkeeper, with number 2 Yannick Quesnel , who took over his role after Chabbert's departure at the end of the season, with 14 appearances and number 3 Cédric Mignani with one use. For all three goalkeepers it was the first season in which they played as a professional, in the case of Mignani it was also the only professional league game in their entire career. Chabbert made his debut on August 8, 1998 in the first round match against ES Troyes AC , where he guarded the goal of his team for the full duration of the game. At the end of the season it was enough for the club from Cannes to place twelfth in the table, which is sometimes quite low.

Constant replacement at Lens

In the summer break before the 1999/2000 season, another change by Chabbert was announced. He was drawn to the north of his home country, where he was accepted by the RC Lens and acted as a substitute for the Lens legend Guillaume Warmuz . Although he was already used in the B-Team at this time, he was also used in two Division 1 games. He celebrated his first division debut on May 4, 2000 in a 2-1 away win over Girondins Bordeaux . While he was still starting the 2000/01 season with the RC Lens , after a few months within the league he moved on loan to FC Metz , where he was used in two other league games. After his return to Lens he was in the 2001/02 season only as a replacement in the professional squad, although he was not used in a single league game, but completed a total of ten league appearances in the CFA team of Lens. While the professionals were only two points behind Olympique Lyon, runners-up in the French league and qualified for the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League , Chabbert was unable to secure a real place in the professional team for the 2002/03 season ; Champions League appearances were also absent. No further appearances were made when Lens, after leaving the group stage, made it to the third round of the 2002/03 UEFA Cup in third place. Instead, he completed five league games in the French fourth division with the B-team of the RC Lens, where he mostly had to give way to the younger players. It was not until the 2003/04 season that Chabbert was able to regain a place in the professional team, for which he ultimately played in three league games, but was also used in all other competitions, including a match in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup for which the team had qualified through the qualification phase. In addition, the goalkeeper was able to record six other appearances in the fourth highest football league in France.

Likewise in the 2004/05 season, where he did not play in the professional league, but qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup 2005 in seventh place in the final standings of Ligue 1 2004/05 in addition to two cup appearances with the team (together with Olympique Marseille (5. ) and AS Saint-Étienne (6th)). After he made his debut in the Intertoto Cup with the team in 2000 and was only just eliminated in the third round due to the away goals rule, he was used again in the UI Cup 2005. This time, however, the team had luck on their side and was able to prevail clearly over their opponents in large parts of the tournament. In the end, the RC Lens won its two finals against CFR Cluj , whereby the RC Lens, together with Olympique Marseille and Hamburger SV as the winners of the other two finals , could be registered as UI Cup winners. Although there was not a single professional league appearance for him this season, he found himself in the professional squad again in the 2005/06 season , where he finally completed two league games. There was also another appearance in the UEFA Cup, where the team even made it into the round of 32. In addition, Chabbert was able to record four inserts in the fourth division, but where he had to let go again in the younger players. With a fourth place in the table at the end of the season, the 1.85 m tall goalkeeper was automatically qualified for the UEFA Cup in the 2006/07 season with the professional team . This season, he probably made the most competitive appearances in the professional team since he was a member of the club. Despite not making a single appearance in the league ( 2006/07 ), Chabbert made two appearances in the 2006/07 UEFA Cup , where he made it to the round of 16 with the team , but lost to Bayer 04 Leverkusen . In addition, he completed all four missions of his team in the Coupe de France 2006/07 and was eliminated in the quarter-finals against the fourth division club FC Montceau with 0-1. The Frenchman also made two appearances in the Coupe de la Ligue 2006/07 . As in the previous season, Chabbert was used four times in the CFA in 2006/07.

Breakthrough at Amiens

Chabbert celebrated his real breakthrough after he had served the same club for almost eight years and, with the exception of his regular appearances at AS Cannes in 1998/99, only in the 2007/08 season , when he was already 30 years old . He made it from Lens to Picardy to SC Amiens , who was looking for a suitable replacement after the departure of his regular goalkeeper Cyrille Merville and his goalkeeper colleague Foussen Tangara, who had never been used in the previous season . He was finally found in Chabbert, who made 37 second division appearances for the club, but was canceled on the last day of the season due to an injury, so he did not have to complete the entire season as a regular and then have to pause for around six months. After that, Chabbert was mainly used in the B team with play in the fifth division and constantly tried to get a regular place in the goal of the northern French. But when this mostly failed and the goalkeeper sustained a gaping wound on his left knee that had to be stitched with twelve stitches, a new breakthrough for the aging goalkeeper was a long way off. In order to regain match practice, he went to Belgium for the 2009/10 season , where he signed a loan contract for the entire season with Sporting Charleroi . So he came to 19 first division appearances in Belgium, where he made his debut on August 2, 2009 in the 2-1 home defeat against Club Bruges , then mainly acted as a regular and from the spring mostly had to give way to the other goalkeepers. One of the reasons was also the player's conditional collapse during the season. After returning to Amiens, Chabbert would have had a difficult time as the club had to relegate to the third highest division, the National (D3), in the previous season .

Transfer to AS Monaco

Instead, the first division club AS Monaco made a surprise transfer before the start of the 2010/11 season when they hired Chabbert as a substitute goalkeeper behind the young team player Stéphane Ruffier . Initially still mainly in the B-team in the CFA he was substituted for Ruffier for the first time shortly before the end of the championship in the 33rd round of the current season. He made his debut on May 1, 2011 in the game against AS Saint-Étienne (1: 1), when he came on the pitch at half-time. Then Chabbert acted in three more league games as number 1 in goal, before he was replaced on May 21, 2011 by Ruffier, who played from the start. Nevertheless, he came on again for Ruffier in the 61st minute of the game, about five minutes after Benjamin Moukandjo Bilé's 1-0 winner , making his fifth Ligue 1 appearance for the club from Monaco . To date (status: 23 May 2011), 37 of 38 championship rounds have been completed in the French first class, with the Monegasque occupying 18th place and thus just one relegation place. With one lap to go, they are still in the immediate relegation battle, especially since all clubs up to seventh place are only one to four points ahead.

National team career

In 1996 he won the U-18 European Championship in his own country with the U-18 national team in his home country . He worked alongside a few later and already up-and-coming greats in French football, including Thierry Henry , David Trezeguet , Mikaël Silvestre , Nicolas Anelka and William Gallas . Alongside Thibault Maqua and Ludovic Roy , who spent most of his later career in Scotland , he was one of three goalkeepers in the French squad who also won the tournament after beating their peers from Spain 1-0 in the final . At the moment, nothing is known about further appearances in French national teams or previous drafts.

Trivia

At the beginning of 2009, Chabbert and a few other professional players sat down with those in charge of the Direction Nationale de l'Arbitrage , an organization of the French Football Association , and discussed a further career path as a referee. This career path was also followed by the former professional soccer player Silas Billong , who switched to refereeing after his career as a soccer player and who was also present at this panel discussion.
