Daniel Maurice Dutuel (born December 10, 1967 in Bort-les-Orgues, Corrèze) is a retired French footballer, who played as an attacking midfielder.

Football career

Dutuel was a product of the famous AJ Auxerre youth system, which also included Eric Cantona, Basile Boli, Pascal Vahirua and William Prunier, all under the tutelage of legendary Guy Roux. He made his first team debut on July 16, 1985, not yet 18, in a 0–0 draw at Stade Lavallois, and was already an undisputed starter by the time the side reached the semifinals of the UEFA Cup in 1992–93.

After a spell at Olympique de Marseille, Dutuel moved to FC Girondins de Bordeaux, which he helped to the 1996 UEFA Cup final, where he scored the club's only goal, in an eventual 1–5 aggregate loss to FC Bayern Munich.

Dutuel then moved to Spain where, safe for the 1996–97 season with Celta de Vigo, he was highly unsuccessful; he also represented Real Valladolid in that country (still in La Liga), and closed out his career two years later, after stints with AC Bellinzona (Switzerland) and RCF Paris.
