 | | Albert Batteux, who died in Grenoble on Friday following a long illness at the age of 83, was a master tactician whose humour and love of the game brought pleasure to millions. |
 | | As coach of Stade de Reims, France and AS Saint-Etienne, Batteux guided the evolution of French football through the 1950s and 1960s, leading his sides to nine French league titles (1953, 55, 58, 60, 62, 67, 68, 69 and 70) and three French Cups (58, 68 and 70). |
 | | Having left Reims in 1963 to spend four years in charge at Grenoble Foot 38, Batteux moved on to Saint-Etienne in 1967, where he made a deep impression upon former international and influential journalist Jean-Michel Larqué. |
