Rémy Vercoutre (French pronunciation: [ʁemi vɛʁkutχ], born 26 June 1980 in Grande-Synthe) is a French football goalkeeper, currently second choice for Olympique Lyonnais. His squad number is 30.
Vercoutre previously played for Montpellier before moving to Lyon in 2002. In 2004, he joined the RC Strasbourg on loan, but only managed to play 8 games for them before returning to Lyon.
Due to Coupet's injury for the 2007 portion of the Ligue 1 season, Vercoutre became Lyon's first choice keeper and played in every game until Coupet's return. During that time, he made a crucial penalty save in the Champions League against Stuttgart which helped Lyon progress to the Last 16. Vercoutre has now been relegated back to the second choice, however not after leaving the impression that he is a good keeper capable of handling Champions League pressure.
