Player
Formed in the local club in Wittelsheim, Rust evolved as a defender in his early years before opting for the goalkeeper position. At age 19, he rejoinedFC Sochaux, a club known for its training center, and relatively quick accomplishment of its first team; they demonstrated an unspectacular but safe and steady style. He quickly took over the first choice goalkeeper position from Eugène Battmann and became the title holder during the 1975-1976 season. After his good performances, he was called upon by Henri Guérin of the team France A' 27 March 1976 against Luxembourg.
The following season, he knew there would be tough competition with another promising goalkeeper,Joël Bats coming up. The coachRené Hauss opted for an original solution and alternated his goalkeepers every game to release a hierarchy. The situation unraveled with the departure of Bats toAJ Auxerre in 1979. Later, Rust and Bats agreed that this was the most painful time in their professional careers.
Rust had his best years at the club with "The Golden Generation" of Sochaux F.C. in 1979-1983.WithBernard Genghini,Yannick Stopyra,Philippe Anziani andAbdel Djaadaoui, the team played good attacking football and focused on their journey in theUEFA Cup of 1980-81. They reached the semi-finals after winning in the third round againstEintracht Frankfurt, a game in which they came up from a deficit of 2-0 to win 4-2 on aggregate, in the snow, thanks toPatrick Revelli. The same year these players also played the final of the Coupe des Alpes and lost to FC Basel in the Final.
Rust's club's good form could not be matched at the National level by the France National team. The national team lacked the skill that the team possessed in 1982. Taking advantage of the Olympic football tournament rule change which opened the tournament up to five professionals of any age per team, Rust joined the French Olympic team for qualification to the1984 Games in Los Angeles, alongsideFrançois Brisson,Daniel Xuereb, andDominique Bijotat. They ultimately won and were awarded the gold medal on the top step of the podium at theRose Bowl in Pasadena, after a victory in the final against Brazil (2-0).
After demonstrating good form during the Olympic qualifications, Rust was named in the list of 20 for theUEFA Euro 1984 just before the Olympic Games. He was second choice to Joël Bats. Rust then won national number 2 behind his old rival club and was, naturally, selected for the1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. In 1987, he left his club and signed with newly promotedMontpellier. He then won a Coupe de France with them in 1990. Rust finally hung up his boots at 38 years after a "freelance" year inAS Monaco. He played over 500 first division matches.
He won one international cap for the France national team during the 1980s. After having won the gold medal at the1984 Summer Olympics inLos Angeles, California andEuro 84, he was a member of theFrench team in the1986 FIFA World Cup, where he played his sole international match againstBelgium on 28 June.
After his playing career, he became a coach with severalLigue 2 andChampionnat National sides.[1] On 14 June 2010 the formerUS Créteil andStade Brestois head coach signed forAS Saint-Etienne as goalkeeper coach.[2] Rust immediately moved on to a coaching career with several league 2 teams, after that he coached Internationally as the Assistant Coach to Henry Michel (Saudi Arabia, Tunisia). He then went back to coaching in the National League (League 2) with the Stade Brestois for three seasons. He led the National Club in D2.In May 2006, he took over coaching for the team Créteil in League 2 but was dismissed by the Club on 18 September following a poor start to the 2006-07 season and was replaced by Artur Jorge.Albert Rust, graduate of DEPF, was selected by Roland Romeyer to fill the Assistant Coach position of l'AS Saint-Étienne as the Keeper trainer in the 2010-11 season.
