Jocelyn Jacques Roland Prêcheur (born 5 May 1982) is a French football manager who is the manager of Women's Championship club London City Lionesses. He has previously managed Paris Saint-Germain, Jiangsu Suning and Meizhou Hakka.
Early life
[edit]Prêcheur is the son of manager and former player Gérard Prêcheur.[1] He played for Viry-Châtillon during his youth career.[2] He stopped playing football after baccalauréat to focus on studies and graduated in engineering from Télécom Paris.[3]
Prêcheur returned to football after his graduation and developed a software which analyze the match and players by video capture. This helped him to work as an analyst for Division 1 Féminine clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon between 2010 and 2017.[3] He also co-founded Juvisy Académie de Football de L'Essonne in 2008, where he worked as technical director until 2017.[4]
Managerial career
[edit]In December 2017, Prêcheur's father Gérard was appointed as the manager of Chinese Women's Super League club Jiangsu Suning. Prêcheur was confirmed as the assistant manager and moved to China with his father.[1] Following his father's departure from the club, Prêcheur took over as manager prior to the 2019 season.[3] He won four trophies including the league title during his first season as manager.[5]
Prêcheur left Jiangsu after the 2021 season and joined Meizhou Hakka in 2022.[6] However, he left the club within three months citing personal reasons.[7] On 1 August 2022, he was named as the assistant manager of Paris Saint-Germain following the appointment of his father as the new manager of the club.[8][9]
On 28 September 2023, Prêcheur became the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain after his father parted ways with the club.[10][11] He won his first trophy with the club on 4 May 2024 by defeating Fleury in the final of Coupe de France.[12]
