Career and career path

Jeremy CLEMENT

Professional footballer 2003-2019

Trained in Lyon, Jérémy will become a professional in 2003 and during these 17 beautiful years of career, traveled the biggest French and Scottish clubs such as Olympique Lyonnais, Paris Saint-Germain, AS Saint-Etienne, AS Nancy -Lorraine and the Glasgow Rangers as a starter.

Jérémy has evolved as a midfielder during his career and has generated a lot of experience. He ended his career at AS Nancy in 2019 with a wonderful record: 3 French Ligue 1 championship titles, 2 League Cups, winner of the Coupe de France in 2010 and the Trophée des Champions in 2005.

A well-oiled conversion for ex-footballer Jérémy Clément

Jérémy Clément after the announcement that he was ending his playing career, will therefore not have taken long to convert since he obtained these diplomas with flying colors to become a coach and he will start next season on the bench of the club football

Bourgoin-Jallieu (Isère).

After retiring from football just a few months ago, Jérémy Clément found a new goal.

He has just launched his brand of olive oil: "Romeo and Juliet".

Very young retired from French football, the Rivois Jérémy Clément does not intend to remain on the sidelines.

At 36, he has just created his own brand of olive oil: "Roméo et Juliette". "It's a product that I've always liked, that has always marked me", as the ex-footballer explains to us. "I thought it had something to do with sport.

It is good for the healt. So I thought it made sense". Jérémy Clément also believes a lot in the signs that life can send. His wife's parents are Italian, and his eldest son is called Romeo.

"From the little signs that we are sent, I found that this adventure had a meaning,

and it was a great story. So why not get started!"

From Isère to Puglia, via the Internet

It is via the professional social network "LinkedIn" that the adventure began. While he was looking for a new entrepreneurial experience, Jérémy Clément was approached by Remo Simonetti, importer, distributor and merchant of wines and spirits. "He told me that he was touched and admired the positions I had put, and that he was looking for someone to join in this area. We met very quickly. I felt that 'there was something to do'. The "Romeo and Juliet" brand was then born, even if the co-trainer of FC Bourgoin-Jallieu easily recognizes that he does not yet know much about olive oil, "By dint of exchanging, watching , I'm learning, I'm not an expert yet."

Production is located in southern Italy, in the Puglia region. Health crisis obliges, Jérémy Clément has not yet had the opportunity to go there. But he really wants to go and see these olive trees as soon as possible, see the production, how it's done. That's also what's interesting about this project.

From Puglia to Leclerc de Bourgoin-Jallieu

The olives were harvested late last year, and production is currently underway. The first bottles should therefore be delivered "between February 15 and 22". The first customers are already there, as the young entrepreneur confirms to us: "To be honest with you, the first customer was Leclerc in Bourgoin. I know the director in relation to football, so inevitably, being from the sector, the first bottles will be in store in Isère".

"I am an ambitious person, and I want "Romeo and Juliet"

either next to the big brands."

Jérémy Clément will therefore need some elbow grease to succeed in this adventure and achieve his goal.

Our philosophy!

The Roméo et Juliette house is committed to offering you not only a selection of quality products, but also the promise to satisfy you, the respect of your desires, the assurance of quality service.

Romeo and Juliet olive oil is precious and tasty, an essential condiment on all our tables and typical of Mediterranean cuisine.
