Dominique Barberat

Dominique Barberat (born 8 October 1958) is a French former professional footballer. Throughout his career, he played in various positions; he was a forward, winger, defensive midfielder, and full-back. He joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 1975, initially to play for the reserve side of the club. Due to a knee operation in 1977, he was unable to play at the FIFA World Youth Championship in Tunisia.

Player profile Across his career, Barberat played in several different positions. Although Pierre Alonzo, former head of the youth academy at PSG, placed him in defense, 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. 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. He also played as a full-back during his career.

After football After retiring from football, Barberat became a real estate agent. He worked in this job from 1991 to 1998. In 1998, he became a football agent, managing the Grasse-based company SARL B.D. Sports & Consulting. The company is based in France but also operates in England and Italy.
