Albert Cartier (born on 22 November 1960) is a French football coach and former professional player.
Coaching career
In January 2008, Cartier was relieved of his duties at FC Brussels following unsatisfactory results and subsequently did not reach an agreement with RAEC Mons.
He departed from Panthrakikos on 12 January 2010. Later that year, in September, Cartier assumed the managerial role at K.A.S. Eupen, a club competing in the Belgian football system.
June 2012 marked his return to FC Metz, signing a two-year deal with the club after their relegation to the Championnat National, the third division of French football. His first season (2012–13) culminated in immediate promotion to Ligue 2. The subsequent campaign saw Metz outperform expectations by leading the league from the ninth matchday onward and ultimately winning the Ligue 2 title by an 11-point margin, securing elevation to Ligue 1. Cartier received recognition as the best coach in Ligue 2 and extended his contract by an additional two years on 20 May 2014.
In October 2019, Cartier was announced as the intended head coach for Tunisian side Étoile Sportive du Sahel, although the club later withdrew this decision prior to his official appointment.
He took over as manager of FC Bastia-Borgo in the French Championnat National in March 2021 but was dismissed on 4 November 2021 after a sequence of five draws and seven defeats across twelve matches during the 2021–22 season.
