Club career

[edit]

Renaut was a product of the Paris Saint-Germain Academy. He had joined the club in 1970 after his hometown club of Stade Saint-Germain merged with Paris FC to create Paris Saint-Germain.[2] Renaut's debuts for PSG's first team came in 1972, helping the club achieve promotion to the Division 2. Another successive promotion followed, with Renaut playing a key part again in the club's return to the Division 1.[3]

Apart from a loan to Sochaux during the 1975–76 season, Renaut was a player of Paris Saint-Germain from 1972 to 1982. He left after having made 290 appearances and scored 35 goals for the club across all competitions, ranking as the player with the most appearances for PSG at the time of his departure.[3][4] The 1981–82 Coupe de France was the only trophy he won with the Parisians.[3]

Renaut continued his career at RC Paris, Sète, Red Star, and Chantilly before retiring in 1990.
