He was regularly in the professional group and had even participated to part of the green epic in the European Cup in 1976.

With Auxerre he was a revelation, he played in the final of the Coupe de France in 1979 against Nantes. With the score tied 1-1, Schaer missed a clear scoring opportunity as he thought he was offside. Auxerre finally lost 4 goals to 1.
