Éric Di Meco (born 7 September 1963 in Avignon, Vaucluse) is a French retired footballer who played as a left defender.

Football career

During his career, Di Meco played mostly for Olympique de Marseille. After starting as a midfielder and serving loans at AS Nancy and FC Martigues, he returned definitely in 1988, going on to amass a further 153 Ligue 1 games in an eventual four-in-a-row run of domestic leagues.

After Marseille's relegation in 1993–94 due to irregularities, Di Meco joined AS Monaco FC, still appearing regularly until his 1998 retirement, at almost 35, with another league title.

For France, he won the Kirin Cup in 1994 and was in roster for UEFA Euro 1996. After the latter competition, where he was then only backup to the younger Bixente Lizarazu, Di Meco retired from international football.
