Career

Playing career

De Falco was a graduate of the Olympique de Marseille academy. He made a total of 82 appearances for the club before joining Paris Saint-Germain in 1983, at the age of 21.[6]

De Falco made his PSG debut in a 0–0 draw against his future club Laval on 27 December 1983.[7] He scored his first and only goal for the Parisians in a 3–1 victory against Saint-Étienne on 11 February 1984.[8] On 14 March 1984, De Falco played his final match for PSG, a 2–1 defeat to Sochaux.[7] He transferred to Laval in the summer of 1984, after a "disappointing" season in the capital of France.[6]

After leaving Laval in 1985, De Falco continued his career at Orléans, Béziers, Valence, Stade Ruthénois, Marseille Endoume, and Cassis.

Managerial career

After retiring in 1998, De Falco went on to manage FA Val Durance.
