Rudi Garcia Biography

Rudi Garcia is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on February 20, 1964 in Nemours, France. Rudi Jose Garcia (Spanish pronunciation of “rudi gar’thi.a”; French pronunciation of “Rydi gaRsja”) is a former French football player and professional manager. He is currently the manager of Lyon’s Ligue 1 club.

Garcia attended university between 1992 and 1994. He earned a DEUG degree and a STAPS at Orsay. Garcia also received French qualifications, which allowed him to manage youth training centres.

In 1995, Garcia returned to Corbeil to manage the Division d’Honneur side with two months remaining in the season. He guided the club out of relegation. Then, in the seasons that followed, one ended with the club in mid-table and another in a second-place finish.

In early 2001, when Toshack returned to Spain, Garcia took over first-team duties in collaboration with Jean-Guy Wallemme. Les Verts were then in the midst of a miserable season. Poor performances on the pitch were compounded by the club’s implication in various affairs involving forged passports. The Garcia/Wallemme duo failed to reverse the trend and, in May 2001, Saint- Étienne were effectively relegated to the French second division. The following month, Wallemme left the club while Garcia was fired in August 2001. The two men, a decade later, would manage Lens and Lille respectively.

Garcia moved to Caen after Lille. He was coached by Robert Nouzaret, and Daniel Jeandupeux. He chose to join Martigues over the Normandy club in 1991. He suffered serious injuries to his knee and back, forcing him to quit professional football in 1992 at the age 28.

Lille traveled to Paris Saint-Germain in December 1984. Garcia scored to win his team a victory over the Parisian club, with both teams tied at 2-2. Garcia made approximately 170 appearances for Northern Club, which he quit in 1988.

He was a physiotherapist for two years in the late 1990s. He became a Scout, helping Saint-Etienne to develop his tactics and studying the opponents. Gradually his role changed to that of assistant coach. He occupied this position alongside John Toshack from July 2000.

Between 1994 and 1996, Garcia acted as player-manager for the club before taking on managerial duties only between 1996 and 1998.

On 2 June 2009, the board of directors sacked Garcia, who had just led the club to their best league finish for three years and qualified it for the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League. It was alleged that the sacking was due to differences of opinion between the manager and a member of the board, Xavier Thuilot. The latter himself was sacked from the board later in the month and on 18 June 2009, Michel Seydoux, the club president and major shareholder, offered the manager position again to Garcia, who accepted.
