Franck Dumas (born 9 January 1968) is a French football coach and former player and a current manager. He played as a defender.
Playing career
Dumas was born in Bayeux, Calvados. He started his career at Stade Malherbe Caen and played there for five seasons before moving to AS Monaco. Dumas played in Jean Tigana's talented Monaco side which famously put Manchester United out of the Champions League in 1998 on away goals after a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford.[1] He was also a key part of the side that won the 1996–97 Ligue 1 title.[2]
Dumas joined Newcastle United in England in July 1999 before moving back to France to join Olympique de Marseille in January 2000.
Managerial career
Dumas later returned to Caen where he continued playing until his retirement in 2004, and where he would later manage.
In August 2014, Dumas was appointed as manager of Moroccan Botola side MAS Fez, on a one-year contract.[3]
Dumas became manager of Democratic Republic of Congo club TP Mazembe in summer 2021.[4] In October 2022 he was fired after the club lost to Ugandan side Vipers SC in CAF Champions League qualification thereby missing out on the competition's group stage.[5]
On 13 September 2023, he was appointed as manager ao Algerian club ES Sétif.[6] On 9 February 2024, he left ES Sétif.[7]
Tax evasion
In January 2017, Dumas was sentenced in first instance to three years of jail including ten months suspended by the French Tribunal of Caen for tax evasion, after a complaint from the French taxation authority to which he owed €557,496.[8] The sentence was suspended after the judge heard Dumas' plea for mitigation which cited a gambling addiction and an "impossibly difficult" business situation.[9]
In January 2023, The Court of Appeal sentenced Dumas to two years in prison, one of which was suspended, for tax fraud.[10] It stated he had not paid his debt for nearly ten years. At the time, €300,000 had been recovered but "never voluntarily" and he was still owing €139,579 excluding penalties.[10]
