*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Garcia was a goalkeeper for many clubs including Cannes, Monaco, Châtellerault, Nancy and Nantes. As a player, he had quite a successful career apart from one game in Europe in 1995 against Bayer Leverkusen. Nantes had no other goalkeepers – David Marraud, Éric Loussouarn and Dominique Casagrande were injured. Therefore, Garcia, who had not played for two years, played in goal, conceding five goals during the match.[1]

As a coach, he was firstly assistant goalkeeper coach to Nantes between 1995 and 1998, then took charge of the reserves at Bordeaux from 1999 to 2003. He finally became a proper manager at Toulon, staying there from 2003 until 2006. He joined Angers in June 2006, replacing Stéphane Paille.

On 28 May 2019, he was appointed manager of Nancy.[2] On 20 May 2021, he was replaced as manager by Daniel Stendel.[3]
