Career

Aristouy was a promising youth player at Stade Montois, before moving to Nantes youth academy in 1994.[1] He began his senior career with them in 1999, and was part of the squad that won the 2000–01 French Division 1. He shortly after went on a short loan to Grenoble for the 2002–2003 season, and moved to Bayonne in 2004. He followed that up with a stint at Entente SSG in 2005, followed by Pau FC in 2006 where he became captain. He ended his career with his youth club Stade Montois in 2012.[2]

Managerial career

Aristouy began his managerial career with his childhood club Stade Montois in 2014, and helped them finish in the top half of the table on the 3 seasons he was there.[3] He moved to the reserves of Nantes in 2017, earning successive promotions from 2018 to 2019, finishing at the Championnat National 2.[4] In the summer of 2021, he was moved to Nantes U19 squad and again helped them win the league in his debut season.[5] On 9 May 2023, he was appointed the manager of the senior Nantes team in the Ligue 1.[6] The club was facing relegation in their last 4 games, but a win against Angers SCO on the last game of the season helped the club stay in Ligue 1.[7]
