Career
Richert spent the most of his career at Sochaux-Montbéliard and was considered to be one of the most consistent goalkeepers in Ligue 1, and has performed well over the past decade.[citation needed] Opportunities for international football for Richert were few and far between, due to Domenech's preference of Grégory Coupet and, in the latter part of the decade, Fabien Barthez.[citation needed]
While at Sochaux he helped them win the 2004 Coupe de la Ligue Final and the 2007 Coupe de France Final. Both matches went to a penalty shootout and Richert saved decisive penalties on each occasion; first from Nantes' Pascal Delhommeau in 2004 and then from Marseille's Ronald Zubar in 2007.[4][5]
