Julien Escudé
Publié le 4 August 2003 à 00h42 byThe Brother of professional tennis player Nicolas Escudé, Julien Escudé followed the way taken by his father Paul, a former professional player of Girondins de Bordeaux. After his beginnings with the teams of Olympique Lyonnais's academy, he finished his training with AS Cannes, where he started his career in D2 during the 1998-1999 season. A year later, while Bordeaux was looking to recruit him it's finally Stade Rennais who managed to sign him. After a time of adjustement, Escudé quickly gained some time on the field with the first squad to become an essential part of Rennes’s defence. Agonisingly close to be recruited by Manchester United in 2002, he was finally transferred to Ajax Amsterdam the following years. In a career made of ups and down, Escudé won his first titles there. In January 2006 he moved to Spain to play with FC Sevilla. A good transfer for the club from Andalusia and also for the player: he made his way as a full member of the team, succeeded to be selected in the French national team, and won several titles, including two UEFA Cups.
