During a 15-year playing career, Plancque made more than 200 league appearances for four clubs.
Managerial career
Plancque began his managerial career with amateur side Arin Luzien in 1995, and went on to coach Pau and Lille reserves before becoming Boulogne's new manager in 2011. One year later, he was appointed in the managerial role of RC Lens reserves, where he stayed until 2015.
On 30 June 2016, Plancque joined English club Southampton as assistant first team coach to manager Claude Puel.[1] He joined Puel as assistant manager at his next club, Leicester City. However, on 3 August 2018, Plancque left his role at the club.[2]
On 14 January 2019, Plancque took over the vacant managerial position at Chamois Niortais in Ligue 2, following the sacking, despite unexpectedly convincing results of Patrice Lair.[3] After disappointing results, Plancque was relieved of his duties on 5 January 2020.[4]
