A Mbappé may be on the way to join another Ile-de-France club.
According to our information, Pierre Mbappé (47 years old), the uncle of Kylian, the world champion of PSG, is tipped to become president of the US Ivry which evolves in N3 (5th division).
The current president Christopher Arquizan must, in fact, leave his functions for professional reasons.
It would be a homecoming for the former player then technician of Levallois and Villemomble who led the Val-de-Marne training between 2009 and 2014. In five seasons, Pierre Mbappé has taken the club a step further, amounting to CFA 2 in CFA (from the 5th to the 4th division), before managing to maintain it at this level.
He even came close to joining National (3rd in 2011).
The former coach of AS Orange Issy (formation of the Corporate Honor Division) and former advisor to the president of Sedan is now very interested in occupying the post of president of US Ivry, which has 980 licensees.
But before launching, he wishes unfailing support from the town hall (PCF) which has been in conflict with the club for many months.
The elected officials discovered that the club would have a financial reserve of 380,000 €.
"This is false, this concerns training compensation related to the transfer of Cédric Bakambu from Bursaspor to Villarreal (7.5 M € in 2015)", then affirmed Christopher Arquizan in our columns in March 2020. But, the city has requested an audit because she suspected the existence of a slush fund.
Faced with the club's refusal, she then turned to the Créteil tribunal de grande instance to place it under the control of a provisional judicial administrator before being dismissed.
The municipality has also decided to reduce its subsidy from € 495,000 in 2018 to € 204,000 in 2019.
His arrival could pacify relations with the city
In 2020, the town hall therefore proposed to the club a new one-year agreement at US Ivry football, but the payment of the subsidy (233,000 €) remained conditional on the proper conduct of the audit.
The latter turned out to be positive, which should automatically entail payment of the full amount (only € 150,000 have so far been received).
The arrival of a new president could allow the club to significantly pacify its relations with the municipality.
When contacted, Pierre Mbappé did not wish to answer our questions.
Despite its problems with the municipality, US Ivry is doing well sportingly, currently occupying 3rd place in its N3 championship, before all amateur championships stopped at the end of October.
The Val-de-Marne team are also still qualified in the Coupe de France where they will face in the 6th round the winner of the confrontation between Le Mée (R1) and Red Star (Nat.).
