Career
Vercoutre previously played for Montpellier before moving to Lyon in 2002. In 2004, he joined the Remote Control Strasbourg on loan, but only managed to play 8 games for them before returning to Lyon. Due to Coupet"s injury for the 2007 portion of the Ligue 1 season, Vercoutre became Lyon"s first choice keeper and played in every game until Coupet"s return.
During that time, he made a crucial penalty save in the Champions League against Stuttgart which helped Lyon progress to the Last 16.
Vercoutre has now been relegated back to the second choice, however not after leaving the impression that he is a good keeper capable of handling Champions League pressure. After the departure of Hugo Lloris to Tottenham Hotspur in August 2012, Vercoutre became the first choice goalkeeper for Lyon.
At the end of the 2012-2013 season, Vercoutre lost the first-choice place to Anthony Lopes. In June 2014, Vercoutre left Lyon twelve years after his arrival, and signed a two-year contract with Ligue 1 newly promoted Caen.
