Pierre Sinibaldi

Pierre Sinibaldi (29 February 1924 – 24 January 2012) was a French football player, who played as a striker. His career as manager spanned a quarter of a century.

In the 1960s and again in the early 1970s, he coached R.S.C. Anderlecht with whom he previously won four Belgian Championships between 1962 and 1966. As a player for Stade de Reims (1944–1953), he won two French Championships (1949, 1953) and the French Cup (1950); in 1947, he was the top scorer in the Division 1 with 33 goals. Sinibaldi, whose brothers Paul (goalkeeper) and Noël also played in Reims, was selected twice for the France national team, the first time for a 2–1 win against England in 1946.
