Nicolas Dupuis (born 6 January 1968) is a French football manager and former player who manages Madagascar and Fleury.
Club career[]
Dupuis played amateur football in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes for FC Souvigny, AS Yzeure, Cournon-d'Auvergne, US Beaumont and SA Thiers. At AS Yzeure, Dupuis played, and managed, 682 games in all competitions.[1]
Managerial career[]
In August 1996, Dupuis was appointed manager of AS Yzeure. During Dupuis' time at the club, Yzeure reached the Championnat National in 2006 as well as beating Ligue 1 club Lorient 1–0 in the 2013–14 Coupe de France on 4 January 2014, before losing to Lyon 3–1 on 22 January 2014 in the round of 32.[2]
In March 2017, Dupuis was appointed manager of Madagascar.[3] On 16 October 2018, Madagascar qualified for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after beating Equatorial Guinea 1–0 in Antananarivo, marking Madagascar's first ever Africa Cup of Nations appearance.[4]
In January 2019 it was announced that he would combine his role as Madagascar manager with that as technical director of French club FC Fleury 91.[5] In March 2019 Madagascar extended his contract until after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.[6] His contract expired in July 2019,[7] but in September 2019 he extended his contract for four years.[8]
In April 2021, the Malagasy Football Federation suspended Dupuis as manager of Madagascar without pay for "neglecting" his managerial duties in order to pursue "commercial interests for personal publicity", with Éric Rabésandratana taking charge of the Madagascar national team whilst Dupuis is serving his suspension.[9]
