Career
Chardar was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina to French parents. While growing up in the country, he drew in interest to the sport of football and, after his family return to France, joined CA Paris at the age of 13. After spending six years with the club as a youth, Chardar joined US Juvisy. He only spent a season at the club before moving to Sète where he achieved most of his success. With Sète, Chardar won the Coupe de France in 1930 and established himself as a French international.[1][2] After departing Sète in 1933, he played for a host of clubs before ending his career with Racing Paris in 1938. Chardar later moved into the managerial role engaging in coaching stints with US Métro and his former club CA Paris.
