Club career

Palatsi was born in Béziers, Hérault. After only three matches as a professional at Montpellier HSC over the course of five seasons (although two were spent on loan), he moved to the lower leagues in the country.

In 1996, Palatsi started a Portuguese adventure that would last nearly 15 years, starting at S.C. Beira-Mar. At the Aveiro club and his second, Vitória de Guimarães, he was sometimes charged with penalty-taking, scoring a total of four goals in the Primeira Liga.

From 2005 onwards, Palatsi played mostly in the country's Segunda Liga, first signing with Moreirense F.C. then moving to F.C. Penafiel. Aged almost 39, he returned to Beira-Mar also in that level, and retired two years later after a brief stint with amateurs A.A. Avanca.

With Beira-Mar again in the top flight, Palatsi returned to the club as goalkeeper coach. He also worked in that role with S.C. Freamunde and F.C. Felgueiras 1932. He was both head and *istant manager – as well as player – at Vitória de Guimarães's beach soccer team and acted as scout for Montpellier.
