Laurent Blanc celebrates his 60th birthday! An emblematic figure of French football, the 1998 world champion and 2000 European champion is still popular in his country. Particularly in the clubs which animated his playing career and his second life as a coach.
In 1996, Blanc signed a historic Ligue 1-Coupe de France double withAJ Auxerre – his only French champion title as a player. The Burgundian club has not forgotten its former defender and did not miss the opportunity to send him a few words on its official account.
A big name in French football
Laurent Blanc, who also played in Montpellier, Nîmes, Saint-Etienne and Marseille, also received a nice message from the Girondins de Bordeaux, the first club of his coaching life. The former French international led the club to the title of French champion in 2009.
