Xavier Pinoteau (born 12 February 1983) is a French former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Pinoteau spent his most of his career in the lower leagues of France, and signed a professional contract with Chambly on 11 June 2016.[1] He made his professional-level debut with the club in a 2–1 Ligue 2 loss to Paris FC on 7 February 2020, a couple days shy of his 37th birthday.[2]
In a match against Caen on 30 January 2021, Pinoteau took a blow to the head and was sent to the hospital. According to the club, he was doing better and had regained consciousness.[3] Coincidentally, in the same match, Caen's goalkeeper Garissone Innocent was also rushed to the hospital after suffering a tachycardia attack and collapsing on the field.[4]
In 2022, at the age of 39, Pinoteau announced his retirement from football.[5]
