Playing career
Born in Rouen on 11 March 1914,[1][2][3] Antoinette began his football career at the youth ranks of his hometown club FC Rouen in 1928, aged 14, and four years later, in 1932, he won the Young Footballer Competition.[5] He stayed loyal to Rouen for over a decade, from 1928 until 1939, scoring 4 goals in 73 official matches,[3] and helping his side win the 1935–36 French Division 2.[2] In the following year, in 1937, he earned his first two (and only) international caps in friendly matches against Austria at the Parc des Princes on 24 January, and against Belgium in Brussels on 21 February, both of whom ended in losses.[1][2][3][5]
In 1939, he joined Red Star, but his career there was cut short by the outbreak of the Second World War, during which he was appointed player-coach of US Quevilly 1941, played for EF Rouen-Normandie in the 1943–44 French Federal Football Championship, and then retired at Quevilly in 1945, aged 31.[2][3][5][6]
Manegerial career
After his career as a player ended, Antoinette remained linked to Quevilly, now as a coach, which he oversaw for 18 years, from 1948 to 1966, leading them to the title of French amateur champion three times (1954, 1955, and 1958).[2][5][7][8] He then became a regional technical advisor in the Normandy Football League from 1967 to 1972.[2][5]
On 8 February 1971, he gave a speech about the club's results that year.[9]
Death and legacy
Antoinette died in Bois-Guillaume on 4 March 2008, at the age of 93.[1][2][10][11] Quevilly's stadium was renamed after him.[5]
