DAZN’s beginnings as the main broadcaster of Ligue 1 continue to be chaotic, with distrust also affecting coaches.

The revolt continues against Vincent Labrune, the president of the LFP, and DAZN, the new broadcaster of Ligue 1. In any case, regarding the subscription rate to be able to watch the matches of the elite of French football. According to the former head of communications of Angers SCO and journalist Mohamed Toubache-Ter, “some Ligue 2 coaches” watch Ligue 1 matches on… Telegram, refusing to subscribe to DAZN.

Their target: Vincent Labrune, guilty according to them of having promised unrealizable amounts to the various players, to finally let an operator practicing dissuasive prices take over the market.

If other players were to boycott the media and the broadcasting of matches, this would further weaken Vincent Labrune’s position at the head of the LFP. The former president of Olympique de Marseille has seen dissident candidacies materialize in recent days in front of him before the next elections: that of Karl Olive, the former journalist and deputy of Yvelines, and that of Cyril Linette, former head of sports at Canal Plus and former head of PMU.

As a reminder, the monthly subscription to DAZN and the Ligue 1 pass (for 8 of the day’s 9 matches, the other going to beIN Sports) costs 39.99 euros. The one-year commitment costs 29.99 euros per month.
