Professional career
Delahaigue was invited to Singapore to play for Etoile FC, a club composed entirely of Frenchmen, in 2010 by his former coach Nicolas Posetti. He accepted the offer for one year[1] despite thinking it was a joke, becoming second string goalkeeper .[2] He was mostly used for friendlies, including one against the Singapore national team, Singapore national team of U23 and cup matches. During the match for third place in the RHB cup, he was named man of the match after a 3-0 victory for his team.
Unable to conceptualize a professional career in football as he was studying to be a history teacher,[1] Delahaigue's contract was not extended and he returned to amateur football.[3]
Reflecting on his one-year spell in Singapore, the French goalkeeper stated that he was not used to the hot climate and that the level of football there was between the French fifth and sixth divisions.[1] He said he would advise a young player to go there as well.[3]
Coaching career
In 2020 he was appointed coach of team 1 of FC Sainte-Goy-Les-Lyon for his first experience as main coach
