The time as an active player

Club career

The Lorraine played mostly in the central defense , in recent years also more often as a full-back . Not exactly the norm for a defensive player, Sylvain Kastendeuch has not been sent off once in his 19-year career in professional football.

Most of his playing time, namely 14 years between 1982 and 2001, he played for FC Metz , for which he had a total of 440 first division matches, in which he also scored 17 goals. In between, he wore the Red Star jersey for a year - the 1984/85 season was also his only season in Division 2  - and spent four years together for AS Saint-Étienne (105 games, 14 goals) and FC Toulouse ( 33 games, 2 hits) are active.
With his 578 games in Division 1 , Kastendeuch is the field player with the second-most appearances in their 70-year history to this day (April 2008) .

He could not win a championship title in this long career; the runner-up in 1997/98 was his greatest success in the league. Sylvain Kastendeuch was never so close to the title: five game days before the end of the season, his Messins received their rivals RC Lens at home in Stade Saint-Symphorien and lost 2-0; In the final table, both teams were tied, only the goal difference decided in favor of Metz. However, the defender was there when his FC Metz won the Coupe de France at the end of the 1987/88 season with a 1-1 plus 5-4 on penalties over FC Sochaux .
