Facing Cyril Linette, his only opponent (drafted), the former president of OM obtained an implacable score, with 85.67% of the votes of the General Assembly, in the first round.
Cyril Linette had nevertheless obtained the majority of the votes of the Ligue 2 college a little earlier in the day. But those of the Ligue 1 clubs weighed infinitely more heavily, and the majority of the latter having chosen Vincent Labrune, there was no surprise in the end. Thus, of the seventeen members present within the board of directors, fourteen raised their hands for the outgoing president, while two chose Cyril Linette and one abstained.

The CVC chapter, the various controversies and the fiasco of the TV rights of Ligue 1 will therefore not have weighed on the decision of the presidents of Ligue 1 who did not wish to change boss. It remains to be seen how things will evolve in the months and years to come
At the moment, the number of subscribers DAZN would be around 100,000 to 150,000, ten times less than the lowest figures initially hoped for. Will the broadcaster stay long if nothing changes?
