Stéphane Gilli (born 30 April 1974) is a French professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Ligue 2 club Paris FC. As a player, he was a defender.

Managerial career

Gilli had a career as a semi-amateur footballer, before working as a physical therapist after a bad injury. In that role, he worked with CS Sfaxien, Nîmes and Fulham.[1]

In 2003, he started working as the long-term assistant manager to Mehmed Baždarević with whom he stayed with for 17 years. He followed Baždarević as assistant at Istres, ES Sahel, Al-Wakrah, Grenoble, Sochaux, the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.[2] He managed Bosnia and Herzegovina for a game against Gibraltar in December 2016 after Baždarević was suspended for unsportmanlike behaviour.[3] He was terminated from Bosnia and Herzegovina, after knocking the tooth out of the Greek player Giannis Gianniotas during a brawl after the whistle after a 0-0 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification draw with Greece on 9 June 2017.[4]

In 2018, he joined Baždarević again at the French club Paris FC. After Baždarević was sacked on 30 December 2019, Gilli was appointed as the interim manager.[5] In 2020 René Girard was appointed as manager, and Gilli then shifted to his assistant.[6] From 2020 to 2022, he was appointed as the assistant manager for Vahid Halilhodžić during his stint with the Morocco national team.[7]

On 3 June 2023, he was formally appointed the manager of Paris FC in the Ligue 2.[8]
