Cyril Courtin takes over the reins of US Orléans. The 51-year-old is close to the president of the Professional Football League Vincent Labrune.

The DNCG, the financial policeman of French football, is keeping a close watch. Courtin will have to pay off a liability estimated at 2 million euros to guarantee the presence of the current 8th in the National championship – on the way to ensuring its maintenance at least on the field – at the same level.
