Jérémie Pierre Bréchet (born 14 August 1979) is a French professional football coach and former player who is currently the assistant head coach of Ligue 1 club Lille. He was usually used as a left-back but could play as a centre-back. Because of his technical skills he could also play in midfield.

He was capped three times for the French national side.

Club career

[edit]

Lyon

[edit]

Born in Lyon, Rhône-Alpes, France, Jérémie Bréchet started his career at local club Olympique Lyonnais. He made his debut in the professional football during the 1998–99 season. In that season he played 15 times. Bréchet played in Lyon until 2003, amassing a total of 116 games for the club and winning the Ligue 1 championship in the 2001–02 and the 2002–03 seasons. In July 2003, Bréchet was transferred to Inter Milan.[citation needed]

Inter Milan

[edit]

The 2003–04 season started well for Inter, but after six average games, manager Héctor Cúper was fired from Inter and Corrado Verdelli took over. Following the new manager appointment and having sustained an injury, Bréchet was featured for only a few more games. In total, Bréchet played nine games for Inter. Inter informed him that he could leave the club. In 2004, Bréchet signed a contract with Real Sociedad.[citation needed]

Real Sociedad

[edit]

Bréchet played for Real Sociedad in the La Liga for two seasons. As Bréchet was injured seriously, he managed only 20 appearances for the club.[citation needed]

Sochaux

[edit]

At the ambitious FC Sochaux, Bréchet made an impressive start on the pitch. After three games, he was appointed captain of the squad. At "Les Lionceaux", he had two strong seasons and became a key player for the team staying injury-free. During his captaincy Sochaux managed to win the Coupe de France twice. In June 2008, Bréchet left the club and moved to PSV.[citation needed]

PSV

[edit]

In the 2008–09 season, Bréchet signed for Dutch club PSV on a three-year contract.[citation needed]

Return to Sochaux

[edit]

On 22 June 2009, Bréchet agreed a move back to FC Sochaux, insisting his decision was because of his family.[2] Following the end of the 2011–12 season, Bréchet became a free agent as his contract was not extended.[citation needed]

Troyes

[edit]

On 9 August 2012, he signed a one-year contract with newly promoted Ligue 1 side Troyes AC.[citation needed]

Bordeaux

[edit]

In June 2013, Bréchet joined Bordeaux on a one-year deal.[3]

Gazélec Ajaccio

[edit]

After one year with Bordeaux, Bréchet signed for a Ligue 2 team for the first time in his career, joining Gazélec Ajaccio on a one-year deal.[4]

Managerial career

[edit]

After his retirement, Bréchet worked as a manager in the youth teams of his former club Lyon. In December 2023, he joined Lyon's first team staff and was named as the assistant manager for Pierre Sage.[5]
