Reappointed as president of the Premier League union, Bernard Caïazzo welcomes the election of Vincent Labrune as president of the Professional Football League (LFP). “Vincent Labrune has a real knowledge of football”, explains the chairman of the Supervisory Board of AS Saint-Étienne, about who would form a consensus within the board of the Loire club.
The former president of Olympique de Marseille, the choice of a majority of clubs, was elected Thursday against Michel Denisot, announced as the favorite and supported by the French Football Federation, Jean-Michel Aulas (OL) and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (PSG).
After the four years of Nathalie Boy De La Tour and the former general manager Didier Quillot at the head of the LFP, Labrune is the right man according to the Stéphanois leader to activate “very big changes”.
“He has a very good knowledge of all subjects and enriched the debates in a very positive way. In recent years, Denisot, in his role as administrator of French football, would have been much more discreet.
