Career

Pimond joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy in 1982, after spending two and a half years in the academy of Sochaux. He made his first appearance for Paris Saint-Germain on 28 May 1985, in a 6–1 defeat to Nancy. PSG's only goal was scored by Pimond, a free-kick that ended up in the top corner of the goal. [3]

On 27 September 1985, Pimond made his second and final appearance for PSG in a 4–1 win over Sochaux, after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match. [4] For the second half of the 1985–86 season, he was loaned out to Red Star, as he did not get along with the PSG coach at the time, Gérard Houllier. Despite only playing only a portion of a match for PSG in the 1985–86 season, Pimond became a champion of the French division. "I only played 15 minutes during the 85/86 season, I don't really feel like a champion, even though I am officially, on paper," he said in an interview with PSG70. [5]

Pimond ended his loan at Red Star at the end of the season and left PSG in the summer. He joined Versailles for six months, and finished the season with Créteil. He then spent three seasons at Villecresnes  [ fr ] before ending his career as a professional footballer at the age of 27. [6]

After football

While playing with amateur sides, Pimond worked as a sales manager for a press, television, and cinema publisher. After April 2006, he held the same position in Éditions But. [5]
