Arnauld Mercier (born 4 June 1972) is a retired French football player. He spent most of his career playing in the French Ligue 2 and Championnat National, but had a spell in Italy where he played three seasons in Serie B. After his playing career, he became a coach, and he now manages Belgian Second Division side RBDB.

Career

Born in Bayeux, Mercier began playing football for Ligue 2 side FC Rouen in 1990. After three seasons the club were relegated to the Championnat National, and he left for another third-tier club, Fécamp. Mercier spent three seasons with Fécamp and the following two with Valenciennes FC, continuing to play in the Championnat National.[1]

In 1998, Mercier moved to Italy, joining Serie A side Reggina Calcio. He was unable to work his way into the first team and went on loan to Serie B sides A.S. Andria BAT, Calcio Savoia and Cosenza Calcio 1914. Disappointed, he returned to France and played two more seasons for Valenciennes.[2]

After he retired from playing, Mercier began coaching the youth side of Valenciennes. He was appointed manager of Belgian side Royal Boussu Dour Borinage in April 2011.[3]
