In the end, there was no match. Vincent Labrune was re-elected as head of the Professional Football League (LFP) this Tuesday, clearly beating Cyril Linette. “On the proposal of the board of directors, the General Assembly elected Vincent Labrune president of the LFP in the first round (85.67%)”, the body announced on X.
The former president of Olympique de Marseille was therefore not worried despite the strong criticism of his management at the head of the LFP, particularly concerning TV rights. After promising a billion euros per season, and seeing the call for tenders fail, Vincent Labrune had reached an agreement with DAZN for the broadcasting of 8 out of 9 Ligue 1 matches for 500 million euros.
