Alain Caveglia (born March 28, 1968 in Vénissieux, Rhône) is a retired French footballer who played as a striker.

[edit] Football career

A prolific goalscorer, Caveglia started at FC Gueugnon, making his first division debuts on August 21, 1990 with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, against Stade Brestois 29.

After two more seasons at Le Havre AC, he moved to Olympique Lyonnais, being eventually named captain on both teams, and being affectionately nicknamed Cavégol in the latter.

In January 2000, Caveglia joined FC Nantes Atlantique, going on to win his only professional silverware, in a six-month stint. In July of that year, he returned to Le Havre, going on to amass a further 30 league goals (in 2001-02, his 14 helped the side return to the topflight) and subsequently retiring.
