Christophe Jean-Pierre Jallet (born 31 October 1983) is a French former professional footballer who played as a right back. During his career, he played for Niort, Lorient, Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon, Nice and Amiens, as well as registering 16 caps for the France national team between 2012 and 2017.
Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Cognac, Charente, Jallet began his career at his hometown club UA Cognac where he operated behind the striker.[2] Tracked by the main club in the region, Niort, since 13, he was discouraged by his parents to pursue the move and he remained in Cognac.
Niort
[edit]Jallet finally joined Niort at 15, but his coach told his parents that he was "not good enough." Jallet dramatically improved after this.[2] Following his training, he started numerous games in National and Ligue 2 during his three seasons as a defensive midfielder there.[2]
Lorient
[edit]In 2006, Jallet was transferred to FC Lorient,[3] where he played as the side's third-choice right-back. After a successful tutelage as third-choice, Jallet eventually became a stalwart of the team.
Paris Saint-Germain
[edit]On 6 July 2009, Jallet joined Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee of 2.5 million euros, signing a four-year contract.[4] He was recruited to provide competition for Ceará at right-back. Jallet made his first appearance in a competitive match with PSG against Le Mans in the second matchday of the 2009–10 Ligue 1 season.[5] Playing as a right midfielder, he scored his first goal one week later against Valenciennes with an assist from Stéphane Sessègnon.[6] During the next match, against Lille, he delivered an assist a few minutes after he was substituted onto the pitch and marked the very end of game again with a goal.[7] During his first season, Jallet's impact as a substitute with goalscoring potential was highly valued, though gaining a starting berth proved hard with the form of Ceará. Jallet scored again at the 19th match against Grenoble, leading to a 4–0 victory for PSG.[8] He ended the season with 11 assists.[9]
On 1 May 2010, at the Stade de France, Jallet won the Coupe de France with PSG after a 1–0 defeat of Monaco in the final.[10]
On 22 April 2011, he renewed his two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
On 2 October 2011, in the clash between PSG and Lyon, Jaillet scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory with an assist from Nenê.[11] He gained the confidence of new coach Carlo Ancelotti in a new position as midfielder, with Ancelotti preferring Milan Biševac at right-back. Jallet gained the captaincy late in the season following the dropping of Mamadou Sakho.
"Jallet is a player with great regularity. There is no tactical error, he is always focused, dynamic. I did not know Jallet but his performance has always been good. He is very professional. I think Jallet can be a good player for the national team." Carlo Ancelotti[12]
Lyon
[edit]On 24 July 2014, Jallet signed a three-year deal with Olympique Lyonnais.[13]
Nice
[edit]On 18 July 2017, Jallet signed with OGC Nice on a free transfer.[14]
Amiens
[edit]On 23 July 2019, Jallet signed with Amiens.[15]
Retirement
[edit]Jallet retired after the 2019–20 season, despite Amiens offering to extend his contract for another campaign.[16]
International career
[edit]Jallet was called up to the France national team by manager Didier Deschamps for a friendly against Uruguay on 9 August 2012. In his second appearance, on 11 September 2012, he scored a goal against Belarus from a difficult angle. He played a total of 16 matches for the France national team.
