PORTRAIT - Elected at the head of the Professional Football League, the former OM president leaves no one indifferent in a world he knows perfectly.


Thursday September 10, 16th arrondissement of Paris.

Vincent Labrune, dark suit, white shirt slightly open, beard and hair with pepper and salt, descends the white marble stairs of the Kleber Pavilion, then makes his way among the journalists, smiling, to deliver his first words as president of the Professional Football League.

The television man, communication specialist and former president of OM, lurking in the shadows since leaving Marseille in 2016, has just made a resounding return to the world of French football.

He succeeds Nathalie Boy de la Tour, with the nose and beard of a Michel Denisot yet announced favorite, but finally beaten (15 votes against 10) by the malice, interpersonal skills and modernity of the 49-year-old Orléanais .

Against all odds.

Except for the main stakeholder and his supporters.
