society

Rennes stadium

In 2001, Yoann Gourcuff, son of coach Christian Gourcuff , joined the youth team at Stade Rennes , for whose professional game he played a total of 66 Ligue 1 games from 2003 to 2006 , scoring six goals. The midfielder was already successful in the Rennes youth team: in 2003, he helped the team win the Coupe Gambardella , the French A youth championship. Gourcuff made his debut for the professional team on February 7, 2004 against AJ Auxerre after he signed a professional contract in November of the previous year. In the following months after his debut he came on other short assignments. The creative player had his breakthrough in the 2005/06 season when he rose to the top of the team.

AC Milan

In the summer of 2006 he moved to the Italian Serie A for AC Milan for a transfer fee of an estimated 4.5 million euros . There he signed a five-year contract. He scored his first goal for Milan in his debut game against AEK Athens . Despite regular playing time, Gourcuff could not prevail against players like Gennaro Gattuso , Marek Jankulovski , Kaká , Andrea Pirlo and Clarence Seedorf . In 21 league appearances in 2006/07 he was substituted on or off 16 times. In the final of the UEFA Champions League , which AC Milan won 2-1 against Liverpool FC , he was not in the Italian squad. In the following season, his playing time decreased further.

Girondins Bordeaux

For the 2008/09 season Gourcuff was loaned to Girondins Bordeaux before the club pulled the purchase option negotiated with Milan and committed Gourcuff for another four years. There the midfield director won the 2009 championship , league cup and the award of French footballer of the year .

Olympique Lyon

On August 24, 2010, he moved to league rivals Olympique Lyon for the fixed transfer fee of 22 million euros . In the following five years, the midfielder was repeatedly set back in his development by injuries. Until March 21, 2015, when he tore a thigh muscle again , he was incapacitated for almost 700 days. That's why he had only played 128 competitive games (nationally and internationally), in which he was on the pitch in 36 over the full distance. Of Lyons a total of 183 league games during this period, he was only used in 90.

Return to Rennes

After his contract expired on June 30, 2015 in Lyon, he returned to his youth club Stade Rennes in mid-September 2015. His contract ran until 2018.

FCO Dijon

Gourcuff moved to FCO Dijon for the 2018/19 season . After he had only made eight short appearances in point games there, he and the club split prematurely in January 2019.

Gourcuff played in various junior national teams in France. In July 2005, he won the U-19 European Championship in Northern Ireland with the French U19 after a 3-1 final win against the English selection . At this tournament Gourcuff was a great support for the team and scored three goals.

On August 18, 2006, Gourcuff made his debut for the French U-21 national team against Croatia during the U-21 European Football Championship in 2006 . He came with the team to the semi-finals, where they were eliminated against the eventual winner Netherlands . He scored four hits in a total of 17 missions. In 2007 and 2009, meanwhile as the team's captain, the U21s missed the finals for the European Championship.

On August 20, 2008 Gourcuff played for the first time for the national team when he came on in the friendly against Sweden in the 90th minute for Jérémy Toulalan . In the World Cup qualifier against Romania on October 11, he scored his first goal for the Equipe Tricolore. In May 2010, the midfielder was nominated by coach Raymond Domenech in the squad for the World Cup in South Africa . After the national team's debacle there , Gourcuff suffered a sporting crisis, which meant that Domenech's successor Laurent Blanc temporarily did not even consider him. In May 2012, Blanc called him to the provisional French squad for the European Championship , but then did not take him to the tournament.
