Sébastien Frey (born 18 March 1980 in Thonon-les-Bains) is a French former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Frey began his club career in France with Cannes in 1997, but later went on to spend most of his career in the Italian Serie A, playing for Internazionale, Verona, Parma, Fiorentina, and Genoa; he ended his career in 2015, after two seasons with Turkish side Bursaspor. At international level, he represented the France national football team on two occasions between 2007 and 2008 and was an unused member of the squad that took part at UEFA Euro 2008.
Frey began his career with French side AS Cannes in 1997, at the age of 17. On 20 September 1997, Frey made his professional league debut, playing as a starter in a 1–1 home draw against Rennes. At the end of the season in the 1997–98 season, Frey made 24 league appearance and took Grégory Wimbée's starting goalkeeping spot in the first team.
Following two promising seasons at Cannes Frey began to attract attention from abroad, most noticeably from Internazionale whom had been notified of his exceptional talents by former keeper Walter Zenga and Serie A rivals Juventus. Eventually, Frey opted to join Internazionale. At Internazionale in earlier season, Frey was the third goalkeeper behind Andrea Mazzantini and Gianluca Pagliuca until Mazzantini was sold to Perugia, making Frey as second choice goalkeeper. On 21 March 1999, Frey finally made his debut for the club against Genoa. Frey also made appearance against Sampdoria when he was put on instead of Pagliuca at 70 minutes on the score (and final) 4–0.
