Lionel André Michel Charbonnier (born 25 October 1966 in Poitiers) is a retired French footballer who played as a goalkeeper. After retiring, he became a football manager and managed Atjeh United of the Liga Primer Indonesia in the season before they folded along with their independent league.
He played for the AJ Auxerre side which won the Ligue 1 title and Coupe de France in the 1995-96 season under the management of Guy Roux. After eleven seasons with Auxerre from 1987 to 1998 he joined Rangers FC in Scotland, where he won the treble of Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup in his first season, 1998-99. They retained the League and Cup in his second season. He retired in 2002 after a season with Lausanne Sports of the Swiss Super League.
Charbonnier was selected 32 times to the French national team but earned his only full cap in 1997. He was a member of the squad which won the 1998 World Cup on home soil, although he did not play a game.
He also managed Tahiti, a French overseas colony, at under-20 level, winning the Oceania Football Confederation's championship in that age bracket. Charbonnier qualified the Under-20 team to the 2009 World Cup in Egypt, the first time that any island has qualified in this level of competition.
In December 2012 he was appointed general manager of Football Association of Indonesia.
Charbonnier trained at AJ Auxerre from the age of 16. He featured in their sides which won the Coupe Gambardella (a nationwide French competition for under-19 sides) twice in a row. In 1985 they beat Montpellier 3-0 and in 1986 Auxerre won on penalties after drawing 0-0 with Nantes. Charbonnier was often a second-choice goalkeeper in his early seasons at Auxerre, kept out by Bruno Martini who had played for the club since 1981. One of Charbonnier's most important matches in the first team was a semi-final in the 1992-93 UEFA Cup against Borussia Dortmund, which he lost on sudden-death penalties after both teams won their home leg 2-0.
