Former ETG and Montpellier striker Kévin Bérigaud will play in the District

Back to basics for Kévin Bérigaud! The 36-year-old striker, who notably shone under the colors of ETG, signed up with Douvaine-Loisin, whose flagship team plays in District (D1). This is the club of his beginnings, where he played until the age of 12.

The Haut-Savoyard, top scorer in the history of Thonon Evian Gaillard, author of 95 goals in 368 professional matches, has not played anywhere since his departure from Pafos (Cyprus), a little over two years ago. years. Second in its D1 championship after eight contested days, Douvaine-Loison will host Chavanod this Sunday, November 10 at 2:30 p.m. at the Julien Gaudin stadium in Douvaine.

Kévin Bérigaud delivered his reaction to this return to the District in the columns of Dauphiné Libéré. “ I often make decisions on a whim. I had been looking for a club for two years, more or less, mostly abroad. I looked for the first year in Cyprus (he played four and a half seasons in Pafos) and in Greece but nothing serious presented itself. After a year without playing, you know it's going to be difficult to find a club. I ended up telling myself that if I wanted to play again a little, it was now, before I was too old. My friend Oktay (Gürgün) had been asking me for a year to come and train with them. Last week it hit me on a whim. I called him and asked if there was any space left. There was nothing thought through. It's near the house, I go there for pleasure and if I can help a little, so much the better. I will already have to get back into the rhythm of the matches.«
