Signed this summer by Paris FC, Kevin Trapp (35) won’t be the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Coach Stéphane Gilli has made his decision clear: the former PSG shot-stopper will begin the season behind Obed Nkambadio in the pecking order.
Trapp, who went from Champions League nights to Ligue 1 survival battles, now faces a new reality — starting out as a backup.
“We have a promising young goalkeeper. The goal is for Obed to perform, and to have an experienced keeper — whether it’s Kevin or Rémy Riou — to guide and support him,” Gilli explained in his press conference.
Experience over status
Despite being signed on a three-year deal, Trapp is expected to play more of a mentoring role than a leading one. His European pedigree remains valuable, offering both competition and security should Nkambadio suffer a dip in form or injury.
Paris FC is betting on youth, but with the insurance of an experienced veteran ready to step in when needed.
