Vincent Philippe Antoine Candela (French pronunciation: ​[vɛ̃sɑ̃ kɑ̃dəˈla]; born 24 October 1973) is a former French footballer. With the French national team, Candela won the 1998 FIFA World Cup, as well as Euro 2000.

Candela was a quick and technically skilled right-footed, offensive left wingback, who was effective at joining the attack as well as being capable in defence.[1][2] Although he preferred playing on the left flank, he was also capable of playing on the right, both as a full-back, and as a winger,[3] and was an accurate crosser and set-piece taker.[4][5][6]

Club career

At club level, Candela played for Toulouse (1992–95), Guingamp (1995–97), A.S. Roma (1997–2005), Bolton Wanderers (2005), Udinese (2005–2006) and Siena (2006–2007). He won one scudetto with Roma, as well as the Supercoppa Italiana, in 2001, also helping the club to the 2003 Coppa Italia Final.

On 28 January 2007 he played his last Serie A match for Messina against Ascoli.[7]

International career

For France, Candela was capped 40 times between 1996 and 2003, scoring five goals. His playing time was often limited by Bixente Lizarazu, but he did play in one match during France's 1998 FIFA World Cup triumph on home soil. During France's triumphant Euro 2000 campaign, Candela played two matches, both as a starter. He also played for France at the 1996 Olympic Games, and at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
