[edit] Career
Guilavogui has been a part of Saint-Étienne since 2005 joining the Rhône-Alpes-based club from his local club Sporting Toulon. He was promoted to the senior squad, following the firing of Laurent Roussey and the hiring of new manager Alain Perrin who was looking to reshuffle Saint-Étienne's defense and fill the squad, which was decimated with injuries.[2] Guilavogui was assigned the number 35 shirt.
Guilavogui made professional debut on 3 January 2009 coming on as a late-match substitute playing in a Saint-Étienne's 1–0 victory over Bordeaux in the Coupe de France.[3]
