Club career

Sandrine Roux (2018)

Born in the eastern Parisian banlieue , Sandrine Roux had to register as a girl with a small club in 1974 under a false name and hide her long hair under a cap. As a 16-year-old, she began her adult career at VGA Saint-Maur (1983), where she quickly became a goalkeeper and - shortly before her 17th birthday - also became a national player (see below) . She remained loyal to the club from Saint-Maur-des-Fossés for more than a decade and a half. As early as 1983 she won her first national championship title with her female eleven , which was followed by five more by 1990. In the 1990s, however, the VGA did not have another comparable success, and a cup competition did not yet exist at that time. In 1999, Roux moved to FC Lyon , who had become French champions twelve months earlier, and played there two more seasons.

Sandrine Roux remained closely associated with women's football afterwards. From 2007 she was the goalkeeping coach of the French U-19 national team; and since the television channel Direct 8 has been broadcasting the women's national team's games live, she can be heard there regularly as an expert commentator. At the end of August 2013, Philippe Bergeroo , the new coach of the women's senior national team, brought her to his team as goalkeeping coach. In 2018 she held the same position under coach Gilles Eyquem at the U-20 World Cup in Brittany .

In the national team

In December 1983 national coach Francis Coché called the goalkeeper on the occasion of a 2-0 victory over Spain for the first time in the French national team . However, it then took a good four years before she was able to prevail against Sylvie Josset under Coché's successor Aimé Mignot and establish herself permanently as number one. From 1992 she was also a regular captain of the Bleues . Also at the 1997 European Championships , the only continental tournament in which she took part, she entrusted her to Élisabeth Loisel , shortly before the first woman appointed to the French coaching chair and in both club and national team the captain's armband for many years to Roux's teammate. At this European Championship finals, the French were eliminated only because of the goal difference in the preliminary round that was one goal worse.

During her long international career, Sandrine Roux had to deal with women from German-speaking countries a number of times, four times with Germany (1987, 1991, 1992 and 1993) and once (1997) with Switzerland . She played her 71st and last game in the national dress, a good two years after her penultimate appearance, against England in August 2000 ; it was practically her "farewell game" in which Loisel used her in the first half in place of the future goalkeeper of France, Celine Marty . A year later, the trainer even included her in the European Championship squad and took her to the finals in Germany ; She used her opponent Corinne Lagache there . With her 71 internationals, Sandrine Roux was the French record goalkeeper for a long time before Sarah Bouhaddi overtook her in 2013 and then overtook her.
