David Regis (French:Régis, born December 2, 1968) is a retired professionalsoccer player and coach who played as adefender. He was most recently the assistant coach ofUS Mondorf-les-Bains. Born in Martinique, he played for theUnited States at the1998 and2002 World Cups.[1]
Regis was born inLa Trinité, Martinique, and began his pro career in 1988 withValenciennes FC and played there until 1993. He was transferred toRC Strasbourg in 1993 where he won the1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup.[2] He then moved toRC Lens in 1996, andKarlsruhe in 1997.[3] He transferred toFC Metz, leaving after the 2002 FIFA World Cup, spent four years there, and spent a season atTroyes AC.[4] From the 2004–05 season, Regis played at the lower levels of the Belgian Leagues withFC Bleid respectively and retired in the summer of 2008.
Since Regis's wife was an American citizen, an option to play for the United States appeared.Steve Sampson, the U.S. national coach, jumped at the chance of having an experienced left back on the World Cup squad (though Regis's preferred position was always center back – where he was most successful in his club career), and promised Regis a starting position on the team if he became a U.S. citizen. Regis wasnaturalized on May 20, 1998, and received his firstcap againstKuwait just three days later. Regis received the starting spot from Sampson, in front of long-time starterJeff Agoos.Regis played all three matches in the World Cup, and despite being one of the more effective players for the US, the Americans lost all three of their group matches.[5]
Regis made the U.S. roster for the2002 FIFA World Cup as well, but did not play at the tournament. He retired with 27 caps.
After his retirement from playing, he worked as head coach inDjibouti with Royal Racing Athlétic Florenvillois and Royale Espérance Rossignol.[6]
