Thierry Laurey
Thierry Laurey (born 17 February 1964) is a French professional football manager and former player who played as a defender and midfielder who was most recently the head coach of Ligue 2 club Martigues.
As a manager, he led Gazélec Ajaccio to consecutive promotions from the Championnat National to Ligue 1. In five years as manager of RC Strasbourg Alsace, he won Ligue 2 in 2016–17 and the Coupe de la Ligue in 2018–19.
Laurey earned one cap for France on 8 March 1989. He played in a 2–0 loss to Scotland at Hampden Park in 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification.
After ending his club career at Montpellier, Laurey began his coaching career at an assistant manager at the same club, serving several managers over the next eight years. His first job as a head coach was at Sète in the third-tier Championnat National for 2007–08, finishing 6th.
In June 2008, Laurey was hired by Amiens SC in Ligue 2. His one season ended with relegation to the Championnat National.
Laurey became director of football at Saint-Étienne – where he had played – in March 2011. In November, he returned to Ligue 2 management at Arles-Avignon. His team were in last place when he replaced Faruk Hadžibegić, but climbed to safety with a long unbeaten run. In the 2012–13 Coupe de la Ligue, he led the team into the last 16 with wins over Guingamp, Gazélec Ajaccio and Ajaccio, but was fired on 5 November 2012 after a 4–1 loss at nearby Nîmes.
In February 2013, Laurey was the third manager of the season at Gazélec, who were six points inside the relegation zone. Their season ended with relegation to the Championnat National, followed by immediate return in third place behind Orléans and Luzenac, the latter of whom were barred from Ligue 2 for licensing reasons.
In the 2014–15 Ligue 2, Gazélec were promoted in second place behind Troyes to reach Ligue 1 for the first time; the club prepared for their maiden top-flight season with a budget of €12 million, half of that of Corsican neighbours Bastia and one-fortieth of the budget for champions Paris Saint-Germain. Laurey's team reached the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France in 2015–16 before a 3–0 loss at Lorient. The season ended in relegation and Laurey was permitted to speak to other clubs, despite having a year left on his contract.
