'''Paul Le Guen''' has sex with men |
|||
Le Guen had a successful managerial career in France, most notably leading [[Olympique Lyonnais]] to three consecutive [[Ligue 1]] titles. He has also managed [[Stade Rennais F.C.|Stade Rennais]] and had an unsuccessful brief spell at [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] in [[Scotland]]. During his playing career he enjoyed successful stays with [[FC Nantes]] and Paris St. Germain and won 17 caps for the [[France national football team|French national team]]. |
|||
==Playing career== |
|||
===Club level=== |
|||
During his playing career, Le Guen played at [[Stade Brest 29|Stade Brest]] for six years, [[FC Nantes|Nantes Atlantique)]] for two years, before leaving Brittany for [[Paris St. Germain]] where he played for seven years (with 478 appearances and a [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]] medal in [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1995–96|1996]]). |
|||
===International level=== |
|||
At international level he played 17 times for France due to injuries and he was part of the team which lost out on a trip to the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|World Cup in 1994]], along with [[Eric Cantona]] and [[David Ginola]]. |
|||
He ended his playing career by taking part in a friendly where his home region of Brittany faced [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] on 21 May 1998. The match finished 1-1. |
|||
==Managerial career== |
|||
===Rennes=== |
|||
During his time at Rennes between 1998 and 2001, Le Guen was noted for signing then unknown players, such as [[Shabani Nonda]] and [[El Hadji Diouf]], who under his guidance, developed into talented footballers. |
|||
He resigned from Rennes in 2001 after a fall-out with the club's board. This led to him taking a year off from football. |
|||
===Lyon=== |
|||
Le Guen replaced [[Jacques Santini]] as manager of Olympique Lyonnais in 2002 after they captured their first league title. Le Guen experienced a grim start to his managerial career at Lyon, winning only 3 games of the first 9, but eventually took Lyon to a further three consecutive championships and reached the [[UEFA Champions League]] quarter-final. He resigned from his position at Lyon on 9 May 2005, the day after the club won their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 championship. He was replaced by [[Gérard Houllier]]. |
|||
After leaving the club, Le Guen embarked upon another year away from football management. During this time he turned down management positions at several top European clubs including [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] and [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] and also stated that he would not return to manage his former club [[Paris St. Germain|PSG]].<ref name="ScotlandonSunday">{{cite news|author = Darren Tulett|title = Le Guen's insight and analysis a real Plus for French TV|publisher = [[Scotland on Sunday]]| date = 2006-05-21|url = http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=753162006|accessdate = 2006-09-22}} (See "Life and Times of Le Guen": 2005-6)</ref> |
|||
===Rangers=== |
|||
On 11 March 2006, it was confirmed that Paul Le Guen had agreed to replace [[Alex McLeish]] as manager of Rangers starting in [[2006-07 in Scottish football|the 2006-07 season]]. Rangers chairman [[David Murray (Scottish businessman)|David Murray]] predicted Le Guen's capture would be followed by "a massive moonbeam of success" coming to the club.<ref> [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/scotland/article2176234.ece Murray’s moonbeam vision doomed to destruction right from the outset], ''The Times'', 1 August 2007</ref> Le Guen signed a 3 year contract <ref>{{cite news|title = Rangers name Le Guen as manager|publisher = [[BBC News Online]]| date = 2006-03-11|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/4791030.stm|accessdate = 2006-09-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author = Alan Campbell|title = Le Guen is new Rangers manager|publisher = [[Sunday Herald]]| date = 2006-03-12|url = http://www.sundayherald.com/54561|accessdate = 2006-09-22}}</ref> with the option to extend his stay at [[Ibrox Stadium|Ibrox]],<ref name="ScotlandonSunday"/> and quickly acquired a number of players. |
|||
However, Le Guen made a poor start to his Ibrox career. His record across his first ten league games was the worst start to a season by an [[Old Firm]] debutant since [[John Greig]]'s team won only two, drew six and lost two of their opening ten games in 1978-79.<ref>{{cite news|author = Andrew Smith|title = Rangers faithful question whether Le Guen is tackling the problem|publisher = [[The Scotsman]]| date = 2006-10-15|url = http://sport.scotsman.com/football.cfm?id=1527662006|accessdate = 2006-10-15}}</ref> |
|||
On 8 November, [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] were knocked out of the [[Scottish League Cup]] at the quarter-final stage by [[Scottish Football League First Division|First Division]] side [[St. Johnstone F.C.|St. Johnstone]]. The result, the first time Rangers had been knocked out of a cup tournament by a lower league side at home,<ref>{{cite news|author = Colin Duncan|title = A Disaster Waiting To Happen |publisher = [[Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record]]| date = 2006-11-09|url = http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/tm_headline=a-disaster-waiting-to-happen%26method=full%26objectid=18066498%26siteid=66633-name_page.html|accessdate = 2006-11-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author = Matthew Lindsay|title = Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide for Le Guen |publisher = [[The Evening Times]]| date = 2006-11-09|url = http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/hi/sport/6029579.html|accessdate = 2006-11-09}}</ref> prompted protests outside Ibrox and demands for the situation to improve and David Murray to leave the club.<ref>{{cite news|author = Keith Jackson |title = 1 Month to save your job |publisher = [[Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record]]| date = 2006-11-09|url = http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/tm_headline=1-month-to-save-your-job%26method=full%26objectid=18066504%26siteid=66633-name_page.html|accessdate = 2006-11-09}}</ref> |
|||
On 1 January 2007, Rangers announced that Le Guen had stripped [[Barry Ferguson]] of his captaincy of the club and dropped him from the squad for a match the following day. ''[[BBC Sport]]'' reported that Ferguson would not play for Rangers again under Le Guen.<ref>{{cite news|title = Gers strip Ferguson of captaincy |publisher = [[BBC Sport]]| date = 2007-01-01|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/6223023.stm|accessdate = 2007-01-01}}</ref> |
|||
Murray announced on 4 January 2007 that Paul Le Guen had left Rangers by mutual consent.<ref name="Le Guen departure">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/6231489.stm|publisher=BBC Sport website|title=Le Guen and Rangers part company|date=4 January 2007}}</ref> This made him the club's shortest-serving manager, and the only one to leave the club without completing a full season in charge. |
|||
Later that year, sports journalist [[Graham Spiers]] published, ''Paul Le Guen: Enigma'' (ISBN 1845962915) documenting his tenure at the club. According to Spiers, Le Guen left the club because he felt he was being "undermined" by other Rangers personnel, including Ferguson and then club doctor, Ian McGuinness, although Spiers also states that, "For his part, McGuinness was entitled to believe that he was being treated shabbily". <ref>[http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/catalog/book.htm?command=Search&db=main.txt&eqisbndata=1845962915 Paul Le Guen: Enigma - A Chronicle of Trauma and Turmoil at Rangers], Random House, ISBN 1845962915</ref> |
|||
===Paris Saint Germain=== |
|||
It was announced on 15 January 2007 that Le Guen would return to the club he once skippered as a player as first team coach replacing [[Guy Lacombe]] at [[Paris Saint Germain]]. When he arrived, PSG were lying 17th in Ligue 1 but he led them to safety in his 1st season finishing 15th.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6263353.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|title=Le Guen returns to coach at PSG|date=15 January 2007}}</ref> As the 2007-08 season in Ligue 1 unfolded, it was clear that Le Guen was getting inconsistent performances from the crop of players, as the club was in the relegation zone with four games in the league season remaining, while winning the [[Coupe de la Ligue]] and qualifying for the final of the [[Coupe de France]]. Winning the Coupe de la Ligue guaranteed PSG a place in the [[UEFA Cup]] for the 2008-09 season. PSG announced in May 2009 that Paul Le Guen would not be offered a new contract and would leave at the end of the 2008-09 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/news/27092/le-guen-verlaesst-paris.html |title=Le Guen verlässt Paris |publisher=Transfermarkt.de |date=2009-01-30 |accessdate=2009-05-06}}</ref> |
|||
==Cameroon national football team== |
|||
He was named [[Cameroon national football team]] manager in July 2009, signing a five month contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.camerounlink.net/fr/news.php?SessionID=N4ET0UBK4XCHD2EYMAH7MKJPLP4CRO&cl1=1&cl2=&bnid=0&nid=47244&cl=1&seite=0 |title=Le portail du Cameroun|Cameroon Portal |publisher=Cameroun Link |date= |accessdate=2009-07-22}}</ref> He made an immediate impact by leading the team to qualification for the 2010 world cup in South Africa after the team had a solitary point in its first 2 matches. He also stripped veteran defender Rigobert Song of captaincy and appointed Samuel Eto'o. |
