Source-derived summary

Dorian Lévêque (born 22 November 1989) is a retired French footballer who played as a left-back.

Career

Lévêque began his career in 2002 with FC Annecy, where he spent 13 years before signing for US Boulogne in 2008. He made his professional debut in Ligue 1 on 7 March 2010 against Olympique Lyonnais.

In June 2010 En Avant Guingamp signed him on a two-year deal. He spent seven seasons with Guingamp, during which they climbed from France's third tier to Ligue 1, beat Stade Rennais in the 2014 Coupe de France Final, and played in the UEFA Europa League.

On 19 June 2017, Lévêque signed a three-year contract with PAOK. He played in one Super League match before suffering a serious injury, and lost the confidence of the manager. After a dispute between player, club and Hellenic Football Federation, he was finally able to terminate his contract in January 2019.

In February 2019, Lévêque rejoined his formative club, Annecy FC, after training with them for several weeks due to being without a club since the start of the season. The club announced on 6 June that he had left the club again, with the intention of finding a professional club.

In July 2019, he signed for Le Mans, newly promoted to Ligue 2.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “french footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3037021. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2002, 2008 and 2010.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
