Matthieu Valverde (born 14 May 1983) is a French former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Valverde began his professional career at Girondins de Bordeaux. After the departure of second-choice keeper Frédéric Roux, Valverde was given the #1 shirt and was set to serve as understudy to French international Ulrich Ramé. While Roux was at the club, Valverde made only two league appearances in three years. [1] Bordeaux won the Coupe de la Ligue in 2007, but Ramé started and Valverde was left on the bench. However two years later Bordeaux won the Coupe de la Ligue again but this time roles were reversed; Valverde played and Ramé was left on the bench. [2] [3] He also made 12 appearances as Bordeaux won the 2008–09 Ligue 1 title. [4] On 24 July 2009, Valverde joined recently promoted club US Boulogne. [5] On 9 December, due to numerous injuries suffered by their goalkeepers, Toulouse FC acquired Valverde from Boulogne.
With Olympique Lyonnais' reserve keepers Remy Vercoutre and Anthony Lopes both missing through injury, Valverde was brought in until the end of the 2011–12 season to deputise for Lyon's first choice goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris.
