生平
球员时代的雅凱主要效力当届法国联赛的班霸圣伊天，赢得五届法甲联赛冠军。当时法国国家队正处于低潮(1966年世界杯首圈出局)，雅凱只代表过国家队上阵两次，没有入球。
雅凱在1973年转投里昂，三年后(1976年)成为领队。曾执掌过的球会除了里昂外，还有波尔多、蒙彼利埃、南锡等等法国球会。
他于1992年成为法国国家队助教，至1994年升任为主教练。执教期间他用过不少著名球员，由老牌的简东拿以至后来的施丹也有。由于1996年欧洲国家杯在四强被捷克淘汰，雅凱一度受到外界批评，甚至有球迷要求他辞职。1998年世界杯前夕法国报章L'Équipe发表社评，认为雅凱不是带领国家队出赛的人选。而雅凱在赛前则表明会继续留下，至世界杯后才离开。之后雅凱也拿出成绩，先在分组赛首名出线，一路杀入决赛，最后以3-0战胜巴西，取得国家队史上首个世界杯冠军。赛后积基终于履行诺言而辞职。
世界杯后雅凱一直担任国家队技术总监，至2006年为止。

Biography
Aimé Jacquet was born in Sail-sous-Couzan, Loire. He began his career as an amateur player for his local club, US Couzan, while working in a factory. Scouted by Saint-Étienne, he joined Les Verts in 1959 and signed his first professional contract in 1961. One of the most successful soccer clubs of the time, Saint-Étienne, won an impressive 5 league titles and 3 French Cups in his 11 years with the club. He also played for the national side, but his international career failed to take off because Les Bleus performed poorly during his years on the team. In 1973, he left Saint-Étienne for bitter regional rivals Olympique Lyonnais , where he ended his career as a player.
A "provisional" manager
Jacquet worked as a manager for clubs around France and gained an impressive list of accolades for Bordeaux during the 1980s, leading them to 3 league titles, 2 French Cups, 2 European semi-finals and 1 quarter-final. Dismissed by President Claude Bez, he left Bordeaux to hone his managerial skills with more modest teams like Montpellier and Nancy.
In 1991, he accepted a position with the National Technical Training Centre (Direction Technique Nationale).
In 1992, he was appointed the assistant to then national team manager Gérard Houllier.
After the French national team was knocked out of the running for the 1994 FIFA World Cup by Israel and Bulgaria, Aimé Jacquet was made the manager of the national team, but only provisionally. After a promising series of friendly matches (notably a victory over Italy in Naples in February 1994), his provisional status was upgraded to permanent.
Jacquet initially selected Eric Cantona as captain and made him the team's playmaker. Cantona had successfully restarted his career in the FA Premier League and was playing some of the best football of his career, but he kicked a Crystal Palace fan in January 1995, which earned him a year-long suspension from all international matches.
As Cantona was the key playmaker, Jacquet was forced to make major changes to the team in the wake of his suspension. Jacquet revamped the squad with some new blood and built it around Zinedine Zidane and other younger players, while dropping Cantona, Jean-Pierre Papin, and David Ginola. Jacquet's choice of players for the tournament caused some fans to grit their teeth but he succeeded in helping France qualify for the Euro 96.
Making it all the way to the semi-finals, Les Bleus managed to show they could survive without veterans such as Jean-Pierre Papin, Eric Cantona, or David Ginola. Jacquet himself stated that the team had done well without Cantona, and that he wanted to keep faith with the players who had taken them so far . The team's good showing in Euro 96 meant that Jacquet stayed in the media's good graces, for the time-being.
From doubt to victory
In the months that followed the Euro 96, Jacquet honed his team's skills in a series of friendly matches. He adopted a very defensive strategy and made fans anxious because his team never seemed to develop a definitive offensive tactic. The press began to attack the team manager, calling his methods "paleolithic" and claiming that the team had no hope for the World Cup. Jacquet, taciturn by nature, never sunk to the baiting, preferring to concentrate on helping his team rather than playing the media game.
In June 1997 at Le Tournoi, cries of "Resign!" could be heard from the stadium as the French team finished last behind Brazil, England and Italy. The press continued to label Jacquet incompetent.
The media's distrust of Jacquet reached fever pitch in May 1998 when, instead of a list of 22 players meant to play in the World Cup, Jacquet gave a list of 28 players, causing the sports daily L'Équipe to write an editorial arguing that Jacquet was not the right man to lead the French team to victory.
However, all that would change when the team began to play in the qualifying rounds for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. It was clear that though Jacquet's team was far from being the most flamboyant in French history, it was a perfectly well-oiled machine that neither injury, nor expulsions, nor suspensions, managed to stop. On July 12, 1998, France soundly beat Brazil 3-0 in the World Cup Final. Key to the victory was when Jacquet pointed out to his players that Brazilian marking at set-pieces was somewhat suspect, and Zidane headed two goals in from corner kicks.
The evening of the victory, Jacquet announced that he was leaving his position as manager of the French first team. He instead became technical director of French football, a position which he held until his retirement in 2006. The position was until recently held by Gerard Houllier, who has recently taken the Managerial position at Premier League club Aston Villa.
