Born in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Casadeï was a prop and made his debut for France in the 1997 Five Nations win over Scotland at Parc des Princes that secured the country's fifth grand slam. He gained two further France caps that year, first against Romania in Bucharest, then a home Test against the Springboks. At club level, Casadeï had his biggest success during his time at CA Brive, as loose-head prop in the 1997 Heineken Cup final win over the Leicester Tigers. [2]

Casadeï, who was CA Brive's caretaker coach in 2018, took charge of CA Périgueux for the 2020–21 season, which was suspended due to Covid. He then left to be forwards coach at Racing 92, before returning to CA Périgueux in 2023. [3]
