Emmanuel Rivière

Early career

Rivière began his football career playing on the French overseas department of Martinique playing for local side Espoir Sainte-Luce in the commune of Sainte-Luce. He attracted interest from French clubs on the mainland after his performances at the annual Coupe Nationale des 14 ans, which was held at the Clairefontaine academy. Notable clubs that scouted him included Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon and Saint-Étienne. The player signed for Saint-Étienne citing the club's history stating, "The ASSE is legendary in Martinique. They're a very big club. My family was happy to see me sign here. My father, who follows a lot of football, talks about them often."

Saint-Étienne

During his early years at the club, former Saint-Étienne striker and fellow Martiniquais Frédéric Piquionne served as a mentor. Rivière made his debut in the reserves at the age of 16. During the summer of 2008, he signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal, which kept him with the Rhône-Alpes-based outfit until 2011. For the duration of 2008, Rivière did not see any playing time with the senior team; he featured only in the reserves. He made his professional debut on 3 January 2009 in a Coupe de France match against Bordeaux. He started the match and played the full 90 minutes with Saint-Étienne picking up a 1–0 victory courtesy of a goal from Bafétimbi Gomis in the 74th minute. He made his league debut on 31 January in a match against rivals Lyon, coming on…
