The 35-year-old, who has been playing for FC Annecy in Ligue 2 since 2022, made the difficult decision following a series of concussions that have impacted his health.\n\nThe final incident occurred during a match against Troyes on September 26th, a game that ended in a 0-2 defeat for his team. This latest head injury proved to be the last straw for the veteran player, who has not stepped onto the pitch since that day, marking a nine-month absence from the game.\n\nPajot's career was characterized by consistency and dedication. He began his professional journey after being formed at Rennes, where he first made a name for himself during a successful loan spell at Boulogne-sur-Mer during the 2010-2011 season. He went on to become a regular fixture in the Rennes squad for several seasons.\n\nIn 2015, he made a significant move to Saint-Étienne, where he became an important component of the team managed by Christophe Galtier. It was during his time at ASSE that he first experienced serious concerns regarding head injuries. A particularly severe collision during an away match at Bastia in 2017 resulted in a concussion that required several weeks of recovery and a consultation with a neurologist.\n\nThis early incident foreshadowed the health challenges that would eventually lead to his premature retirement. Despite his resilience and commitment to the sport, the cumulative effect of multiple concussions has forced him to prioritize his long-term well-being over his playing career.\n\nPajot's retirement highlights the growing awareness and concern surrounding head injuries in football. His case serves as a reminder of the physical toll the sport can take on players, even those who have enjoyed long and successful careers at the highest levels of French football.\n\nBased on reporting from Foot - actualités, mercato, info & vidéo en continu.","news","FC Annecy midfielder Vincent Pajot, 35, has retired from professional football due to the lasting effects of several

With the season entering its decisive final stretch, this fixture carries immense weight for both clubs, albeit for very different reasons. For the hosts, Boulogne, a strong home record could be the key to securing a playoff position or even a late push for automatic promotion. For the visitors, Annecy, every point is vital in a tense battle to avoid an immediate return to the Championnat National.\n\nWhile not a historic derby, recent seasons have forged a competitive edge between these two sides, often producing tightly contested matches. Tactically, fans can expect a fascinating clash of philosophies. Boulogne, typically organized and robust at home, will look to control possession and leverage the fervent support of the Libération faithful to apply sustained pressure. Annecy, known for their disciplined defensive structure and swift counter-attacks, will aim to frustrate the hosts and exploit any spaces left behind.\n\nThe atmosphere at the Libération promises to be electric. Boulogne's supporters, renowned for their passionate backing, will create a cauldron of noise, urging their team forward in what could be a season-defining 90 minutes. Annecy's travelling contingent, though smaller, will be equally vocal, knowing their team's survival hopes hinge on such away performances.\n\nFans can expect a tense, tactical, and emotionally charged affair. Every tackle, chance, and decision will be met with a roar from the stands. For Boulogne, it's about solidifying their ambitions; for Annecy, it's about sheer survival. The outcome will significantly shape the final league table, making this a must-watch clash for any follower of French football's second tier.",{"code":188,"id":50,"imagePath":189,"name":51,"slug":190},"HME","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.api-sports.io\u002Ffootball\u002Fteams\u002F1299.png","boulogne","2026-05-02T18:00:00Z",90,"326135624505495552","fr-ligue-2","boulogne-vs-annecy-2026-05-02","finished",[]]
