Managerial career

Before his managerial career he played professional football with Troyes AC from 1982–1991. He was selected to the team of the century by the fans and set a record after scoring the fastest goal in club history. Eullaffroy began his managerial career in his native France with the Stade de Reims and Troyes AC youth academies. In 2005, he moved abroad to Canada where he began to manage the McGill Redmen where he coached the team for three years. During his tenure with McGill he was named Coach of the Year for all three seasons. In 2009, Eullaffroy was appointed head coach of Trois-Rivières Attak of the Canadian Soccer League.[1] In his first season with the Attak he led the club to their second National Division title. In the postseason the club reached the CSL Championship finals match where the Attak won in penalties against International Division champions the Serbian White Eagles.[2] For his achievements with the Attak in his debut season he was awarded the CSL Coach of the Year award.[3]

The following year the Trois-Rivières Attak ceased operations due to the ended cooperation as the farm team for the Montreal Impact, which Attak owner Tony Iannitto waived his players rights and opened his territory for the benefit of the Montreal Impact Academy. On March 23, 2010 Eullaffroy was appointed the head coach for the Montreal Impact Academy.[4] His greatest success with the Academy was reaching the postseason finals in the 2012 season where the club was defeated by Regular Season champions the Toronto Croatia.[5] In 2013, he served as the Montreal Impact assistant coach under head coach Marco Schällibaum in the Major League Soccer. On November 17, 2014 Eullaffroy was hired as the head coach for the newly expansion franchise FC Montreal which will began play in 2015 in the USL Pro.[6]
