'''Albert Cartier''' (born 22 November 1960) is a French professional [[Association football|football]] manager and former player.

==Coaching career==
Cartier was fired by [[FC Brussels]] in January 2008 for bad results and did not reach a new agreement with [[R.A.E.C. Mons (1910)|RAEC Mons]].

On 12 January 2010, the French coach left [[Panthrakikos F.C.|Panthrakikos]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.panthrakikos.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=233:---120110&catid=23:arxiki |title=Δελτίο Τύπου της 12.01.10 |access-date=14 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006085158/http://www.panthrakikos.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=233:---120110&catid=23:arxiki |archive-date=6 October 2011 |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

In September 2010, Cartier became the new coach of [[K.A.S. Eupen]], a team from the Belgian league

In June 2012, he signed  a two-year contract with his former team FC Metz, which was relegated for the first time in its history to [[Championnat National]], the third level of French football. The 2012–13 season proved to be a success, as the team was promoted to Ligue 2. For 2013–14 season, the initial goal was to secure a mid-table position. The results far exceeded the expectations. Metz took the lead on Day 9, and never gave it up, ending Ligue 2 champion with a wide margin of 11 points to the second, and being therefore promoted to Ligue 1. His peers elected him best Ligue 2 coach for the season. On 20 May 2014, he signed for two more years with Metz.

Cartier was announced as presumptive manager of [[Tunisia]]n team [[Étoile Sportive du Sahel (Football)|Étoile Sportive du Sahel]] in October 2019, but the management committee changed direction at the last minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.africatopsports.com/2019/10/15/etoile-sportive-du-sahel-albert-cartier-ne-viendra-pas/|title=Etoile Sportive du Sahel: Albert Cartier ne viendra pas !|publisher=Africa Top Sports|language=fr|date=15 October 2019}}</ref>

In March 2021, Cartier was announced as the head coach of [[FC Bastia-Borgo]] in the French [[Championnat National]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.footamateur.fr/national-albert-cartier-nouvel-entraineur-du-fc-bastia-borgo/|title=National.
