Benoît Tavenot (born 3 January 1977) is a French football manager and former player. He is the manager of Ligue 2 club SC Bastia.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Paris, Tavenot was raised in Strasbourg in Alsace.[1] A midfielder, he began playing in his adopted region for AS Kilstett, AS Strasbourg and AS Pierrots Vauban Strasbourg.[2]

Coaching career

[edit]

Tavenot worked in several posts within SC Bastia including as assistant manager and reserve team manager.[3] In February 2018 he was named manager at Championnat National 2 (fourth-tier) club FC Bastia-Borgo, the successor to his former club CA Bastia.[4]

After one year as assistant manger of Cercle Brugge in the Belgian Pro League, Tavenot was named as part of the staff of Vincent Hognon at Metz in June 2019.[5] He retained his post under succeeding manager Frédéric Antonetti but left the club as did the latter following relegation to Ligue 2 in 2022; Tavenot's contract was set to last to 2024.[6]

In February 2023, Tavenot returned to the city where he grew up, joining RC Strasbourg Alsace again as Antonetti's assistant.[1] Possessing the Brevet d'entraîneur professionnel de football [fr] to coach football in France to the highest level, he left this post in June,[7] and became head coach of Dijon in the third-tier Championnat National on a two-year deal.[8]

Having come fourth in his only season at Dijon, Tavenot left by mutual consent in June 2024 while strongly linked to a return to SC Bastia as head coach.[9] He joined the Corsican club of Ligue 2 on a two-year deal, with his former mentor Antonetti being the director of football.[10] In his debut as manager in a professional division on 19 August, his team drew 1–1 at Metz.[11]
