Vincent Bordot (born 9 April 1975)[1] is a French football manager and former player. A midfielder, he played eight games in Ligue 2 for Le Mans at the start of his career before representing clubs in lower divisions.
As a manager, he led Entente to promotion to the Championnat National in an eight-year spell, eliminating Montpellier of Ligue 1 from the Coupe de France in 2019 before being relegated and leaving. With Red Star, he eliminated top-flight Nantes in a run to the last 16 of the cup in 2021 before being sacked that September.
Born in Coulaines, near Le Mans in Sarthe, Bordot got his break in football when Marc Westerloppe saw him play in a Division d'Honneur match for his local team and gave him a trial for Le Mans FC's reserve team in the fifth-tier CFA 2. Bordot frustrated the club for his lack of commitment, but Westerloppe gave him one last chance, and gave him his professional debut on 29 April 1998 in a Ligue 2 game against OGC Nice.[2]
Bordot left Le Mans in 1999 for Thouars Foot 79 of the third-tier Championnat National, followed by Tours FC, then Paris FC in the CFA, AS Beauvais in the National and Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilaire FC in CFA 2.[2][1] He moved to Paris because of his wife's work, and was signed by Paris FC in 2001 after sending them a curriculum vitae; in his first season there he was made captain by manager Robert Buigues.[3]
