Marcel Defalco (born 6 January 1962) is a French former professional football player and manager.[4][5]

Playing career[edit]

Marcel Defalco[6] was a graduate of the Marseille academy. He made a total of 82 appearances for the club before joining Paris Saint-Germain in 1983, at the age of 21.[7]

Defalco made his PSG debut in a 0–0 draw against his future club Laval on 27 December 1983.[8] He scored his first and only goal for the Parisians in a 3–1 victory against Saint-Étienne on 11 February 1984.[9] On 14 March 1984, Defalco played his final match for PSG, a 2–1 defeat to Sochaux.[8] He transferred to Laval in the summer of 1984, after a "disappointing" season in the capital of France.[7]

After leaving Laval in 1985, Defalco continued his career at Orléans, Béziers, Valence, Stade Ruthénois, Marseille Endoume, and Cassis.

Managerial career[edit]

After retiring in 1998, Defalco went on to manage FA Val Durance.
