Azzedine Meguellatti

Azzedine Meguellatti (5 October 1960 – 12 January 2024) was a French football manager. He managed as high as Ligue 2, where he led Istres from 2002 to 2003.

Biography Born in Saint-Denis in the outskirts of Paris, Meguellatti played for local Pierrefitte F.C. and FCM Aubervilliers, and captained FC Saint-Leu. He joined CS Ermont as manager in 1989, with the team in the second district league, leading them to four promotions to reach the sixth-tier Régional 1 by 1997. After preserving the Bouches-du-Rhône club's league status twice, in July 2003 he returned to his native department of Seine-Saint-Denis and joined Red Star F.C. in the Régional 1. In November, he returned to UJA while remaining at Racing, thus becoming the only person to lead two French clubs in national divisions at the same time; on 28 November he travelled to Corsica for UJA's 1–1 draw away to leaders S.C. Bastia and the following day his Racing team won 2–0 at home to SC Douai.

After Racing were relegated to the Régional 1 in 2013, Meguellatti resigned but remained as general manager until 2018.
