Jérémy Clément (born 26 August 1984) is a French professional football manager and former player. Playing as a midfielder, he spent most of his career with two clubs, Paris Saint-Germain and Saint-Étienne.

Playing career

Though born in Béziers, Clément was raised in Rives, Isère, and started his career at Rives SF.[1]

Clément, who was formed by Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais, joined Rangers on 7 July 2006 on a three-year contract after a £1.1 million deal was agreed between the two clubs.[2] In joining Rangers, Clément linked up with his former Lyon manager Paul Le Guen and former assistant manager Yves Colleu,however, the latter duo both departed the club on 4 January 2007. Le Guen was not out of work for long and in his role as manager of Paris Saint-Germain, he entered the race to sign Clément. The midfielders previous club, Lyon, were also interested. On 25 January 2007, the Rangers confirmed Clément had re-joined Le Guen at PSG, turning down Lyon in the process with the fee reported to be around £1.8 million.[3]

In July 2011, Clément signed for AS Saint-Étienne.[4]

In June 2019, after two seasons with AS Nancy, he agreed a move to fifth-tier side Bourgoin-Jallieu.[5]

In April 2020, after his club's season had been ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Clement announced his retirement from playing.[6][7]

Managerial career

Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Clément was appointed as joint-manager of Bourgoin-Jallieu alongside Laurent Rugelj.[8] He became the club's sole head coach after the departure of Rugelj in December 2020.[9] After two years at the club, the parties decided by mutual agreement, not to extend the contract. Clément left the position at the end of the 2021-22 season.[10]

Personal life

Clément was tested for Swine flu H1N1 virus in October 2009 along with two PSG teammates, Ludovic Giuly and Mamadou Sakho.[11] This led to the league postponing Marseille's match with Paris Saint-Germain.[11]
