Arnauld Mercier (born 4 June 1972) is a French football manager and a former player. He is currently managing Olympic Charleroi.
He spent most of his career playing in the French Ligue 2 and Championnat National, but had a spell in Italy where he played three seasons in Serie B. After his playing career, he became a coach, and managed RBDB and Seraing United.
Born in Bayeux, Mercier began playing football for Ligue 2 side Rouen in 1990. After three seasons the club were relegated to the Championnat National, and he left for another third-tier club, Fécamp. Mercier spent three seasons with Fécamp and the following two with Valenciennes, continuing to play in the Championnat National.[1]
In 1998, Mercier moved to Italy, joining Serie A side Reggina. He was unable to work his way into the first team and went on loan to Serie B sides Andria, Savoia and Cosenza. Disappointed, he returned to France and played two more seasons for Valenciennes.[2]
