Jean-Yves Kerjean (born 25 June 1958 in Ploudalmézeau) is a French retired football coach and footballer who is last known to have managed Stade Brestois B in his home country.
South Africa
Given the Orlando Pirates head coach post in 2001 after several negotiations,[6] Kerjean was obstinate about his system of promoting young talents near the end of the year[7] and guided the Bucs to third-place in the league and a 3–0 triumph over Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby.[8] However, he was discharged from his post in summer 2002 following poor results and the failure of his young talent system.[9] After a stop in Dubai,[10] Kerjean was announced as head coach of Black Leopards in 2005, aiming for a top eight finish[11] before being dismissed a month later.[12]
Reflecting on his stay in South Africa, the French mentor claimed that safety was an issue and that he had to be accompanied by bodyguards.[10]
He applied to coach a few South African clubs in 2010.[13]
