Jérôme Palatsi (born 10 December 1969) is a French former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Having had no impact as a professional in his country of birth, he spent the bulk of his senior career in Portugal, appearing in 180 Primeira Liga matches mainly at the service of Vitória de Guimarães and retiring in his 40s.[1]

Club career[]

Palatsi was born in Béziers, Hérault. After only three matches as a professional at Montpellier over the course of five seasons (although two were spent on loan), he moved to the lower leagues in the country, playing for Pau and Le Grau-du-Roi.

In 1996, Palatsi started a Portuguese adventure that would last nearly 15 years, starting at Beira-Mar. At the Aveiro club and his second, Vitória de Guimarães, he was sometimes charged with penalty-taking, scoring a total of four goals in the Primeira Liga as a goalkeeper.[2][3][4]

From 2005 onwards, Palatsi played mostly in the country's second division, first signing with Moreirense,[5] then moving Penafiel. Aged almost 39, he returned to Beira-Mar also in that level, and retired two years later after a brief stint with amateurs Avanca.

With Beira-Mar again in the top flight, Palatsi returned to the club as goalkeeper coach.[6] He also worked in that role with Freamunde[7] and Felgueiras 1932.[8] He was both head and assistant manager – as well as player – at Vitória de Guimarães's beach soccer team[9] and acted as scout for Montpellier.
