Career

[edit]

Carnus was part of the France national team's squad for the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England where he remained Marcel Aubour's substitute. He later signed with AS Saint-Étienne, winning his first titles. His successes with les Verts and his talent as a goalkeeper allowed him to take Aubour's titular spot in France's goal after the 1966 World Cup.In 1971, he surprisingly left Saint-Étienne, along with teammate Bernard Bosquier for Olympique de Marseille.Their combination in l'OM's defense was full of success, and Marseille won French Division 1 and Coupe de France in 1972.
