Anigo was born in Marseille, and after a tough childhood went on to play for his home town club for eight years where he established a reputation for being a tough defender. After that he became the coach for Marseillaise's youth team and latter went on to become coach from 2001 to 2005 leading the team to a runners up medal in the 2004 UEFA Cup Final. During his tenure he also signed many stars that would aid Marseille in the future such as playmaker Mathieu Valbuena, goalkeeper Steve Mandanda and defender Nicolas N'Koulou.[2]
In October 2019, Anigo was hired as Head of International Recruitment for Nottingham Forest.[3] He left the club in June 2020.[4]
Born in France, Anigo's parents were Spanish Republicans on the run from Francisco Franco.[5] In September 2013 Anigo's son Adrien Anigo was shot dead. Adrien had previously spent time in prison for robbery and became the fifteenth victim of gun violence in Marseille that year.[6]
