André Marius Lacoste, known as Jep Lacoste (11 February 1922 – 22 June 1988) was a French rugby league coach.
Biography
Lacoste, originally a player of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, his playing career was compromised due to his STO in Upper Silesia, which left him physically dilapidated. Lacoste was the coach of his former club, Villeneuve-sur-Lot, which he led to a historic double in the 1964–65 season, as well he coached France at the 1968 Rugby League World Cup. Lacoste also coached the Saint-Gaudens side which won the French Championship final in the 1969–70 season against XIII Catalan.
After his death in 1988, a rugby sevens tournament with 12 rugby league teams and two rugby union teams from the south-west France, was inaugurated by the then-president of the French Rugby League Federation, Puig Aubert, with the name "Jep Lacoste Trophy" in his honour.
