† Appearances (goals)

Yannick Daniel Quesnel (born 24 October 1973) is a French retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Most of his professional career was spent in Portugal, notably playing in two Primeira Liga seasons with Alverca. He also represented Benfica for five months.

Football career

Born in Libourne, Aquitaine, Quesnel's early professional career in his country was highly unsuccessful, as he only managed to appear with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard and FC Girondins de Bordeaux's reserve teams over the course of five seasons combined, eventually moving to AS Cannes in the second division. In 2000 he started an adventure in Portugal that would last five years, starting with second level's Associação Naval 1º de Maio and signing with F.C. Alverca in the following year.

After stellar performances at Alverca, then S.L. Benfica's feeder club, which included winning the Goalkeeper of the Year award in the 2001–02 season even though his club suffered top level relegation, Quesnel moved to precisely Benfica on a three-year deal;[1] however, being only third-choice behind José Moreira and Quim, he would spend the next one 1/2 seasons loaned, one of those back in his country with Olympique de Marseille.

After an unassuming season with AS Monaco FC, already cut from Benfica (he did not manage to appear once in the league with both Ligue 1 sides combined), Quesnel played the remainder of his career in French amateur football.
