Bernard Mendy (born August 20, 1981 in Evreux, France) is a French football player. He plays as a right wing defender for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
A great fan of the PSG since his childhood, Mendy achieved his ambitions in 2000 when he joined PSG from SM Caen. Even though he had impressed a lot of people by his qualities during his first two seasons at PSG, he was loaned to Bolton Wanderers of England for a year, where he was appreciated for his offensive and speedy style.
When he came back from England in 2003, the new manager of PSG, Vahid Halilhodzic, decided to give him an opportunity to assert himself by using him as a first choice. That year, Mendy played one of his best seasons and was rewarded by playing his first match with the French national team against Brazil. Even though he was injured and had some troubles in the 2004-2005 season, Mendy is still considered as one of the best French right wing defenders, mainly due to his clinical crosses. However, he was not selected for the country's 2006 FIFA World Cup roster.
