Réginald Ray (born 31 October 1968) is a French football manager and former player.
Ray spent the majority of his 15-year career in the French lower divisions. In 1991, while playing in the Championnat National with Montceau, he was the league's top scorer.[citation needed] Ray was top scorer again in 1998, this time in Ligue 2 while playing for Le Mans.
Managerial career
In 2008, Ray became the under-21 manager for Boulogne. As well as managing the under-21s, Ray also helped coach the team's strikers. In 2010, after two years at Boulogne, he left the club in order to become assistant manager to Frédéric Hantz at Bastia.
On 1 November 2015, it was reported that former Lyon manager Rémi Garde was on the verge of becoming the new manager of Aston Villa, and after unsuccessful attempts to bring his former coaching staff with him, would be appointing Ray as his assistant manager.[3] On 1 April 2016, a club statement stated Ray had left Aston Villa.
Ray returned to manage Bastia in June 2017.[4]
In October 2017, Ray became new manager of Valenciennes.[5] He left after two seasons at the end of his contract.[6]
In March 2020, he was appointed manager of Le Mans.[7] He was released from duties when the club were relegated at the end of the 2019–20 Ligue 2 season.[8]
On 25 June 2024, Ray was hired by Strasbourg as an assistant to Patrick Vieira.[9] However, Vieira left Strasbourg less than a month later.[10] Ray left as well.
