Xavier Pinoteau (born 12 February 1983) is a French former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Career

Pinoteau spent his most of his career in the lower leagues of France, and signed a professional contract with Chambly on 11 June 2016. He made his professional-level debut with the club in a 2–1 Ligue 2 loss to Paris FC on 7 February 2020, a couple days shy of his 37th birthday.

In a match against Caen on 30 January 2021, Pinoteau took a blow to the head and was sent to the hospital. According to the club, he was doing better and had regained consciousness. Coincidentally, in the same match, Caen's goalkeeper Garissone Innocent was also rushed to the hospital after suffering a tachycardia attack and collapsing on the field.

In 2022, at the age of 39, Pinoteau announced his retirement from football.
