COACH PROFILE PATRICK VALLÉE DOB: 4 October 1962 (Age 51) Nationality: French Teams formerly coached: DR Congo, AS Beauvais-Oise B, Pacy Vallée-d'Eure Football, Étoile FC, AFC Compiègne Honours (as senior coach): S.League (2010), Singapore League Cup (2010) •
Hailing from Rouen, France, Vallée began his coaching career as a youth coach at his hometown club FC Rouen in 1988.
•
He then joined Pacy Vallée-d'Eure Football and was promoted to Assistant Coach in 1998. He later had coaching stints in DR Congo, Qatar SC and AS Beauvais-Oise B before returning to Pacy Vallée-d'Eure in 2007.
•
Vallée was first introduced to Singapore football after being appointed as head coach of newly-formed Étoile FC rd in 2010, where he famously led the team to the S.League title and League Cup, and came in 3 in the Singapore Cup.
•
Returning to France, he led AFC Compiègne to the Round of 32 of the Coupe de France, where he encountered Ligue 1 side and then-defending champions Lille OSC. Despite dragging the tie to extra time, th Compiègne eventually succumbed to a 114 minute Gianni Bruno goal. Current Jaguars Aurélien Hérisson and Sébastien Etiemble were part of the Compiègne first eleven.
•
The Lille OSC starting lineup for the match featured French internationals Mickaël Landreau, Mathieu Debuchy, Lucas Digne, Dmitri Payet and Belgian international Eden Hazard. Former England international Joe Cole also featured in the same match.

MATCH FACTS th
•
This will be the 14 meeting between both sides in S.League history.
•
Suspensions: Masrezwan Masturi’s straight red against Balestier Khalsa takes him out of another match against a former club.
•
Former Cubs: Masrezwan Masturi, Firdaus Idros, Tengku Mushadad have all turned out for the Cubs. Masrezwan was in the pioneer batch of Young Lions back in 2003.
•
Former Jaguars: Ex-captain, Delwinder Singh, is currently marshaling the backline of the Courts Young Lions.
•
Tanjong Pagar United and the Young Lions squared off for the first ever time on 1 April 2003. The Jaguars lost 2-3 at Queenstown Stadium, with the Cubs scoring through Faizal Sazali, former Jaguar Aliff Shafaein and current Jaguars striker Masrezwan Masturi.
•
Patrick Vallée’s first ever match against the Courts Young Lions took place on 29 April 2010. Frederic Mendy’s brace ensured victory for Étoile at Queenstown Stadium.
•
Vallée has lost only once to the Cubs in a competitive fixture, when a very late and unfortunate own goal by Anthony Aymard was the deciding factor on 25 August 2013.
•
The Cubs were dealt their biggest defeat of the 2013 season by Tanjong Pagar United in a memorable fixture for former Jaguars striker Ismael Benahmed, who scored a hattrick in a 4-0 victory at Jalan Besar Stadium.
MILESTONES •
Chua Lye Heng, Shafiq Noh and Justin Khiang will make their first senior S.League starts if they are named in the starting lineup on Friday.
