INFO:
Part of the blessed generation of FC Sochaux in the 1980s. A loyal substitute, fierce, reliable defender, much appreciated by his teammates - Genghini even mentioned that when Zandona marked the opponent it was the surest thing there is. He was noted for his fighting spirit and team spirit and played throughout his professional career in the Doubs. Fine defensive skills, tough to beat and in the duel game, ran to the offence when needed to deliver a cross. Decent heading game. He will make with Sochaux great performance: second in D1 in 1979-1980, a semi-final of the UEFA Cup in 1981 lost to the future champion, a third place in D1 in 1981-1982.
In the summer of 1987, Sochaux went down to D2 and Zandona's contract was not renewed. At the age of 30, he left Sochaux and joined the amateur world and played a year at Chalon-sur-Saône in division 3. He was without a club during the 1988-1989 season before playing his final season at US Albi in DH Midi-Pyrénées and hanging up his boots at the age of 33 in 1990.
