Dominique Bijotat (born 3 January 1961) is a French football manager and former professional player who played as a midfielder.[1][2] He obtained eight international caps (no goals) for the France national team during the 1980s.
Club career[]
Bijotat was born in Chassignolles, Indre. Most of his career was spent with AS Monaco, playing there in two separate periods 1976–1987 and 1988–1991. He also spent one season with Bordeaux and eventually ended his playing career at Châteauroux.
International career[]
He was a member of the national team that won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.[3]
Coaching career[]
After the recent home defeat against Ajaccio, the coach has quit Ligue 2 club LB Châteauroux, the team was in 16th place.[4]
On 4 June 2010, FC Metz officials hired the former Châteauroux coach with the objective of leading the team back to Ligue 1 within two years.[5][6]
