Born in the Finistère, Paul Le Guen started his professional career with Brest. After several seasons there, he moved to Nantes, and then two years later to Paris Saint-Germain, where he stayed for the rest of his playing career, and where he built up nice achievements. In 1998, the midfielder retired and immediately became coach of the ambitious Stade Rennais, freshly bought by François Pinault. His first season was very good and the club qualified to the Intertoto Cup, in which Rennes faced the Juventus of Zinedine Zidane. The next years were more difficult, especially in 2000, where Rennes avoided the drop to second division on the last match only. In conflict with his management, Le Guen left the club after three years spent in Rennes. He then became the coach of Olympique Lyonnais, where he won three titles of France champion. After six difficult months at the head of Glasgow Rangers, he came back to Paris Saint-Germain, where his fortunes were quite mixed. He then spent one year at the head of the Cameroon national team, which completely failed its 2010 World Cup. After one year of unemployment, he was appointed as the national coach of Oman in June 2011.
