Didier Six (born 21 August 1954) is a French football coach and former player, who most recently worked as manager of the Guinea national football team until October 2021.[1]

A gifted but inconsistent winger, Six had a rather nomadic career, playing in five countries. He also played for France in the 1978 and 1982 FIFA World Cups, and was also part of the winning team at Euro 84.
