Career

In the club

Pentecôte was in the professional squad of Toulouse FC from the 2004/05 season , previously he was active for their youth team. On the 33rd match day of the 2004/05 season he came to his first Bundesliga appearance. Coach Erik Mombaerts replaced Pentecôte in the 59th minute for Jean Louis Akpa Akpro . The game was lost 1: 2 against SC Bastia . Since the young attacker was rarely used and in the first few years mostly in the shadow of Daniel Moreira , Francileudo Silva dos Santos , Nicolas Dieuze , Johan Elmander , Fode Mansaré and Bryan Bergougnoux , the club officials decided to take him for the 2007/08 season loan to the second division club SC Bastia. At the island club, Pentecôte developed into a regular player and scored his first professional goal; then he returned to Toulouse. In January 2010, he moved again for a half series on loan to Bastia. A cruciate ligament tear in August 2010 interrupted his career for several months. In the second half of the 2010/11 season he came in the first division of Toulouse to six missions; on the last matchday at the end of May he scored both goals at Stade Brest for FCT's 2-0 win.

In August 2011, first division club OGC Nice secured Pentecôtes services for four years. The expiring contract was not extended.
