Coaching career

UEFA Cup place.[6]

At the start of the 2006–07, season Lacombe dropped France international midfielder Vikash Dhorasoo – one of the goalscorers in the cup final win – who reacted by publicly criticising him in an interview for L'Équipe. PSG chairman Alain Cayzac sacked Dhorasoo in October 2006.[7] It was the first case of a Ligue 1 player being dismissed by his employer.[8] On 15 January 2007, with PSG only one place above the relegation zone, Lacombe was shown the door and replaced by Paul Le Guen.[8]

On 17 December 2007, Lacombe returned to Ligue 1, taking over from

Guingamp.[10]

Lacombe signed a two-year deal with

2010 Coupe de France Final, lost to his former team PSG via a single Guillaume Hoarau goal in extra time.[12] He was sacked on 10 January 2011 after the team were eliminated from the last 64 of the season's cup on penalties to fifth-tier Chambéry.[13]

On 7 November 2012, Lacombe moved abroad for the first time in his football career, joining

Al-Ahli with the team in 9th; he won two of his nine fixtures.[15]

Lacombe became a director for the French Football Federation on 1 October 2013.[16] He retired on 3 October 2017.[17]
