Stéphane Gilli (born 30 April 1974) is a French professional football manager and former player who is the head coach of Ligue 2 club Paris FC. As a player, he was a defender.

Managerial career

Gilli had a career as a semi-amateur footballer, before working as a physical therapist after a bad injury. In that role, he worked with CS Sfaxien, Nîmes and Fulham.

In 2003, he started working as the long-term assistant manager to Mehmed Baždarević with whom he stayed with for 17 years. He followed Baždarević as assistant at Istres, ES Sahel, Al-Wakrah, Grenoble, Sochaux, the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. He managed Bosnia and Herzegovina for a game against Gibraltar in December 2016 after Baždarević was suspended for unsportmanlike behaviour. He was terminated from Bosnia and Herzegovina, after knocking the tooth out of the Greek player Giannis Gianniotas during a brawl after the whistle after a 0-0 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification draw with Greece on 9 June 2017.

In 2018, he joined Baždarević again at the French club Paris FC. After Baždarević was sacked on 30 December 2019, Gilli was appointed as the interim manager. In 2020 René Girard was appointed as manager, and Gilli then shifted to his assistant. From 2020 to 2022, he was appointed as the assistant manager for Vahid Halilhodžić during his stint with the Morocco national team.

On 3 June 2023, he was formally appointed the manager of Paris FC in the Ligue 2.
