Steve Savidan

International career Savidan did not receive any call-ups to represent France during his two-year stint in the top level at Valenciennes, where he displayed good form. However, on 13 November 2008, aged 30, he was picked to the national team by coach Raymond Domenech, who was impressed by the player's start to the 2008–09 season. He played the second half of the 0–0 home draw against Uruguay, on the 19th.

Post-retirement career In the fall of 2009, Savidan – who played ice hockey in his childhood – joined ASG Angers, serving as coach of the under-9 team.

On 14 January 2010, he published his biography: Une Balle en plein cœur (English: A Ball in the Heart), written with David Berger. He also joined Canal+ and became a television consultant for Ligue 1 matches on Foot + and on the program Les Spécialistes in August 2010. Steve Savidan then joined the consultant team of Eurosport football department in September 2011. Savidan was on every Monday evening live for the big Ligue 2 games. Savidan was also the commentator of the final of FIFA 13 in Barcelona.

In June 2014, Steve Savidan joined SC Beaucouzé, a club located on the outskirts of Angers, as an assistant manager under his former Angers SCO teammate Lionel Duarte. Savidan also kickstarted the process of getting his coaching license. Savidan also opened a nightclub in Angers called K9, K for his wife Karine's first name and 9 for his favorite number. Perhaps, it was the same name as the restaurant he opened in 2007. He left this position after the UEFA Euro 2016.

In June 2017, Savidan was hired as manager for Stade Bordelais' U16 team. Savidan announced on 16 May 2018 that he had become the head of the FC Bassin d'Arcachon, which played in the Regional 1 (6th division). After a bad period, Savidan was fired in early November 2019.
