Playing career

edit

Chabert was a goalkeeper and was part of Saint-Étienne's youth academy, and briefly joined Udinese in Italy, and Ayr United in Scotland before spending the rest of his playing career in the lower leagues of France.[1]

Managerial career

edit

Chabert joined Béziers in 2011 as an assistant and became the senior coach in 2013.[2] Chabert helped promote AS Béziers into the French Ligue 2 for the first time in their history in 2018.[3]

In late October 2019 Chabert left Béziers to manage SC Bastia, dropping a league in what was reported as a surprise move.[4] He led Bastia to promotion to Ligue 2 in the 2020–21 season. On 22 September 2021, he was dismissed by Bastia after gaining 7 points in the first 9 games of the Ligue 2 season.[5]

On 14 October 2021, he was hired by Châteauroux, returning to Championnat National.[6] More than a year later he was sacked on November 29th.

On 2 March 2023, he succeeded Romain Revelli as manager of Dunkerque in the Championnat National.[7] He managed to get the club promoted to Ligue 2, but on 24 September 2023, he was sacked with the club in 17th position.[8]
