Guy Roux is no longer in the field and is enjoying his lovely retirement in his house in Burgundy, located in a “quiet street”. A little tour from the owner…
If Guy Roux, the emblematic coach of AJ Auxerre, has retired from the field, he continues to work away from footballs. The former sportsman writes a weekly post in L’Yonne Républicaine. He even played a scene in the film Four zeros by Fabien Onteniente released in October 2024. Is it to make ends meet? However, at 86 years old, he lives a peaceful and financially comfortable retirement, in his house in Burgundy.
Guy Roux: his house where he lives alone in a “quiet street”
Guy Roux was born in Colmar, but he chose to settle in the Burgundy region. “I am lucky to have a detached house and a large garden with flowering fruit trees. I’m on a quiet street with eight houses and some neighbors my age“, he described in Yonne Republican in 2020.
In an article from Parisian dating from 2003, there is talk of a swimming pool that he had built as well as a forest that he owned. In VSD in 2006, we learned that he was separated from his wife, but the single life did not seem to weigh on him. “I don’t suffer from being alone at home. I’m so used to it that it’s fine”, he confirmed in his region’s daily newspaper.
Guy Roux complains about his (nice) senior retirement: “I have to count”
Guy Roux was invited to Luxury Jordan in September 2023 and he could not escape the question about his current lifestyle. But he hadn’t kicked in. “That makes me 4,000 euros (per month, editor’s note). It’s my pensions added together, because I was a general insurance agent for thirty-three years.” he detailed. If the amount seems quite comfortable compared to the national average (1,531 euros per month according to the Directorate of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics), the former coach finds it clearly insufficient to live on.
“Since I’m a bit of a spender, I have savings that I spend. I hope I have enough to continue. But people who receive 4,000 euros must count“, he complained. It must be said that Guy Roux was used to receiving crazy amounts of money, since he confided that he was paid a considerable amount for his express visit to the Racing Club de Lens. “I think it was 80,000 euros, it lasted two months,” he revealed.
