from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yves Herbet (born August 17, 1945 in Villers-Cotterêts ) is a former French football player and coach .

Player career

In his clubs

The 1.67 m short, skinny midfielder first stepped into the limelight when he won the France-wide competition for young footballers in 1962 and was soon signed up by first division UA Sedan-Torcy . Herbet then dropped out of his business studies and concentrated entirely on sports. In the league, the Ardennes only finished in the middle of the table in the following years, but in the cup the team reached the final in 1965 . After a 2-2 draw against Stade Rennes UC there was a replay in which Sedan lost 3-1 to 1-0 despite a Herbet penalty. This summer, Herbet also became a senior international (see below) . In 1966 Sedan-Torcy became Paris-Sedan through a merger racing , and under this name Sedan's midfielder achieved two fifth places, the best placement of his entire playing career. In 1968 he moved to the reigning Belgian champions RSC Anderlecht , only twelve months later to Paris to Red Star FC and another year later to division 1 promoted Stade Reims .

Even at Reims, he was undisputed in the regular formation that ended the 1970/71 season in the upper half of the table. In the late summer of 1971, however, the red and whites got off to a very bad start, had only won a single point from the first six league games, and the technically skilled, goal-threatening but very calm Yves Herbet was one of the players who were personally blamed for this negative series . He was only used in a competitive game in mid-October, which Reims lost at home to FC Metz , and was handed over to AS Nancy during the winter break . When Nancy relegated to the second division in 1974 and had to downsize his team squad for cost reasons, the ambitious league competitor Olympique Avignon attacked and secured Herbet's services. After completing his first season there, he returned with the team from Provence to the highest league, but only for one season; Nevertheless, he stayed in Avignon for two more years , then moved to neighboring FC Martigues , with whom the promotion failed, and ended his career in 1980, in which he had made 359 first division games in France and scored 58 goals.

In the national team

Yves Herbet had already run through numerous national teams (A youth, military and student, amateur, B-Elf and Espoirs ) before national coach Henri Guérin called him in June 1965 against Argentina for his first A international match . He was also part of the French World Cup squad in 1966 , where he played the two preliminary round matches against Uruguay and hosts England and was “the best in a disappointing team”. Nevertheless, he then lost his regular place under the short-term Guérin successors Snella , Arribas and Fontaine . Only his former Sedan coach Louis Dugauguez , who was responsible for the national team from July 1967 , called Herbet again more often and, like Guérin, repeatedly attacked him . Between March 1969 and September 1970 again no longer considered - again there had been a change of coach - Georges Boulogne resorted to him in view of Herbet's performance at Stade Reims and took him on a trip to South America around the turn of the year 1970/1971.

In January 1971 he played there, as on his debut again against Argentina, the last of his 16 international matches, in which he had also scored a goal. Herbet also made some appearances against teams from German-speaking countries: twice against Luxembourg (1965 and 1966), once against Belgium (1967) and Austria (1970).

Coaching career

From 1980 Yves Herbet coached a variety of teams; however, he was denied great successes. He began this second career at FC Martigues, the last club he had played for himself (1980–1982 and again 1985–1988 and again in 1998/99). He also worked for Le Havre AC (1982/83), FC Sète (1983–1985), Cercle Laïque Dijon (1988–1990) and SO Châtellerault (1995/96), until 1990 always in the second division.

From 1999 to 2003 Herbet trained FUS de Rabat , which he led at least to the Moroccan runner- up in 2001 . He then briefly worked as national coach for Bahrain before returning to France in the summer of 2003, where he worked on an interim basis for third division SCO Angers in 2004 and then at some lower-class amateur clubs in Provence (Olympique Barbentane, ES Apt, FC Tarascon).
