Pierre Dréossi

An experienced man in the French football, Pierre Dréossi played near to 500 games in the French First and Second divisions (for 10 european games) in a 16 years long playing career. After signing his first professional contract with Lille in 1976, the young centre back left his home region to join the FC Sochaux. He then played for Nice, Paris Saint Germain and Cannes, where he ended his career as a player to become the Academy’s coach. He went on to manage the professional team for one and a half season in the first division, before going back to his first team, Lille, and become the Director of Sport. In 2002, Dréossi arrived at the Stade Rennais along with the new president Emmanuel Cueff, as the general manager, with the mission to help the club progress and reach its objectives. After four years of continuous progress, he was rewarded by Francois Pinault and the club’s management, and given full power on the sports sector. Along with his position as a general manager, he was given the reins of the professional team in June 2006. He remained the position for a season and a half, qualifying the Stade Rennais for the UEFA Cup in 2007. However, he had to step down in December 2007, following a streak of 9 games without winning (including 8 defeats). Pierre Dréossi then returned to his functions as a general manager only, a position he still occupies now.
