Just Fontaine, a former football player and coach, has passed away. The ex-France international passed away at the age of 89. L’Équipe reported.
Remember that in his youth, Fontaine played for Casablanca, Nice, Reims and the French national team. He is a 4-time French champion, a two-time French Cup winner, and a European Champions Cup finalist.
After completing his professional career, he coached the national teams of France and Morocco, as well as Bagneres-de-Luchon, PSG and Toulouse.
Fontaine achieved his greatest fame while playing for his national team. In the French team, the striker became the bronze medalist of the 1958 World Cup and the leading scorer of this tournament – 13 goals. This record for the number of goals scored in a World Cup has not been beaten by any football player so far.
