Christophe Jallet (born 31 October 1983) is a French international footballer who plays for the French club Nice in Ligue 1, as a right-back.

Club career

Early career

Born in Cognac, Charente, Jallet began his career at his hometown club UA Cognac where he operated behind the striker.[1] Tracked by the main club in the region, Chamois Niort, since 13, he was discouraged by his parents to pursue the move and he remained in Cognac.

Niort

Jallet finally joined Chamois Niort at 15, but his coach told his parents that he was "not good enough." Jallet dramatically improved after this.[1] Following his training, he started numerous games in National and Ligue 2 during his three seasons as a defensive midfielder there.[1]

Lorient

In 2006, Jallet transferred to Lorient[2] where he played as the side's third-choice right-back. After a successful tutelage as third-choice, Jallet eventually became a stalwart of the team.

Paris Saint-Germain

On 6 July 2009, Jallet joined Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee of 2.5 million euros, signing a four-year contract.[3] He was recruited to provide competition for Ceará at right-back. Jallet made his first appearance in a competitive match with PSG against Le Mans in the second matchday of the 2009–10 Ligue 1 season.[4] Playing as a right midfielder, he scored his first goal one week later against Valenciennes with an assist from Stéphane Sessègnon.[5] During the next match, against Lille, he delivered an assist a few minutes after he was substituted onto the pitch and marked the very end of game again with a goal.[6] During his first season, Jallet's impact as a substitute with goalscoring potential was highly valued, though gaining a starting berth proved hard with the form of Ceará. Jallet scored again at the 19th match against Grenoble, leading to a 4–0 victory for PSG.[7] He ended the season with 11 assists.[8]

On 1 May 2011, at the Stade de France, Jallet won the Coupe de France with PSG after a 1–0 defeat of Monaco in the final.[9] On 22 April 2011, he renewed his 2-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

On 2 October 2011, in the clash between PSG and Lyon, Jaillet scored the second goal in a 2–0 victory with an assist from Nenê.[10] He gained the confidence of new coach Carlo Ancelotti in a new position as midfielder, with Ancelotti preferring Milan Biševac at right-back. Jallet gained the captaincy late in the season following the dropping of Mamadou Sakho.

Lyon

On 24 July 2014, Jallet signed a three year deal with Olympique Lyonnais. [12]

Nice

On July 18 2017, Jallet signed with Nice on a free transfer. [13]

International career

Jallet was called up to the French national team by manager Didier Deschamps for a friendly against Uruguay on 9 August 2012. In his second appearance, on 11 September 2012, he scored a goal against Belarus from a difficult angle. As of late November 2017, he was selected 16 times for the French national team.
