Jean-Michel Cavalli
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Jean-Michel Cavalli (born 13 July 1957) is a French and Corsican football manager and former player who is the manager of Kosovo Superleague club Prishtina.
Playing career
Cavalli started his playing career at the now-defunct Gazélec Ajaccio in 1971,[1] also turning out for Corsican sides Bastia SCB (1977–78) and Solenzara (1978–79) before a second spell at Gazélec. In that second spell, Cavalli would spend five years as club captain.
Managerial career
In his final few years as a player, the club hierarchy at Gazélec encouraged Cavalli to shadow then head coach Guy Calléja. In 1990, when Calléja was unable to continue in the role, Cavalli was promoted to manager - overseeing both the professionalisation of the football club [2] and ensuring that Gazélec were able to stay in Division 2 in a period of great transition.
His first taste of international management would take place when he took charge of Algeria in 2005.[3][4] Cavalli coached the Corsica national team, not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA, in a 2009 friendly against Congo.
