Club career edit

Garcia was a goalkeeper for many clubs including AS Cannes, AS Monaco, SO Châtellerault, AS Nancy and FC Nantes. As a player, he had quite a successful career apart from one game in Europe in 1995 against Bayer Leverkusen. Nantes had no other goalkeepers – David Marraud, Éric Loussouarn and Dominique Casagrande were injured. Therefore, Garcia, who had not played for two years, played in goal, conceding five goals during the match.[1]

Coaching career edit

As a coach, he was firstly assistant goalkeeper coach to Nantes between 1995 and 1998, then took charge of the reserves at FC Girondins de Bordeaux from 1999 to 2003. He finally became a proper manager at Sporting Toulon Var, staying there from 2003 until 2006. He joined Angers SCO in June 2006, replacing Stéphane Paille.

On 28 May 2019, he was appointed manager of AS Nancy.[2] On 20 May 2021, he was replaced as manager by Daniel Stendel.[3]
