Dominique Barberat (born 8 October 1958) is a French former professional footballer.[2] Throughout his career, he played in various positions; he was a forward, winger, defensive midfielder, and full-back.[1]
Club career
[edit]Barberat began his career at SSV Châtenay-Malabry.[3] He joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 1975, initially to play for the reserve side of the club.[3] He would eventually make four Division 1 appearances for the club in the second half of the 1975–76 season, notably scoring one goal against Lyon on 11 May 1976.[4][2] However, due to conflicts with the PSG manager Velibor Vasović, he returned to the reserves, where he would eventually become top scorer in the 1976–77 season.[5][3] In 1977, Barberat had to undergo a knee operation.[3] Later that year, he joined newly-promoted Division 1 club Rouen after having put in a transfer request.[2][5]
In 1979, after two seasons at Rouen, the first of which resulted in relegation to the Division 2, Barberat joined Division 3 side Châtellerault.[2] After merely a season there, he joined Quimper, who were playing in the Division 2. In 1983, he joined Alès.[2] His former club PSG notably tried to bring him back to the club during his spell at the club; however, the transfer fell through.[3] Barberat would continue his career at Cannes in 1986, where he would notably score the decisive goal for promotion to the Division 1 in a 2–0 win over Sochaux on 13 June 1987.[4] He joined Istres in 1989, his final club before retiring in 1991.[1]
International career
[edit]Barberat was a youth international for France.[4] Due to a knee operation in 1977, he was unable to play at the FIFA World Youth Championship in Tunisia.[3]
Player profile
[edit]Across his career, Barberat played in several different positions. Although Pierre Alonzo, former head of the youth academy at PSG, placed him in defense,[4] he began his career as a forward. He had a play style similar to the one of Gerd Müller, according to himself, before being converted to a winger. He initially played on the right, and then on the left afterwards, as he was a good player with both feet.[3] Later, he was converted to a defensive midfielder, where he was able to "start a new career", notably at Alès. Barberat had a "good technical base", according to himself.[3] He also played as a full-back during his career.[1]
After football
[edit]After retiring from football, Barberat became a real estate agent. He worked in this job from 1991 to 1998.[1] In 1998, he became a football agent, managing the Grasse-based company SARL B.D. Sports & Consulting.[4] The company is based in France but also operates in England and Italy.[5]
