Jean-David Baptiste Francois Beauguel (born 21 March 1992) is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker for Chinese Super League club Qingdao West Coast. After starting his football career in his native France, he spent a season playing club football in the Netherlands before moving to the Czech Republic, where he played from 2014 until 2022. He made a switch to Saudi Arabia in 2022, before moving to play club football in China in 2024.
Beauguel played for Toulouse in France. Although he didn't play in any league matches, [2] he scored in a Coupe de la Ligue match against Nice on 31 August 2011. [3] He later headed to the Netherlands, where he played for RKC Waalwijk, but left after the club was relegated from the Eredivisie at the end of the 2013–14 season. [4]
Beauguel trialled with Czech club Dukla Prague in July 2014, scoring four goals in a half-hour section of a friendly match in a pre-season friendly versus Varnsdorf. [5] A week later he signed a three-year contract with Dukla. [6] Beauguel scored seven goals in the first half of the 2014–15 Czech First League. [7] Having scored nine goals in 61 games for Dukla over the course of two and a half seasons, Beauguel signed for First League side Fastav Zlín in January 2017. [8]
In November 2018, with his Zlín contract due to expire in less than two months, he signed a pre-contract agreement with Viktoria Plzeň. [9] On 8 December, he did not appear for Zlín in their Czech First League match against Plzeň, having asked Zlín coach Michal Bílek not to select him for the match. [10] This stirred controversy in the media, with news outlet iSport reporting that Viktoria Plzeň allegedly pressured the player to skip the match. [11] Zlín lost the match 2–0. [12]
On 17 June 2022, Beauguel joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda. [13]
On 24 February 2024, Beauguel signed with Chinese Super League club Qingdao West Coast. [1]
