According to the newspaper
L'Équipe
, the Angers SCO club "
is about to be sold to an American investment fund
".
Not so surprising news when you know that Saïd Chabane, Angevin president since 2011, has been trying to sell the club for months.
"
The club is still opening up capital,
" he confided to
L'Équipe
in March.
There have been discussions.
I don't necessarily want to be in the majority.
Staying is not an obligation.

In December 2021, the local and Franco-Indian investor Paritosh Gupta claimed to have "
more and more desire
" to invest in the SCO.
Chabane then evoked, in the columns of
Ouest-France
, to be “
at the stage of discussions
”, which therefore probably did not succeed.
Angers will play an 8th season in a row in Ligue 1
The formalization of the sale to this American investment fund could take place between now and the last match of the season, at home against Montpellier this Saturday (9 p.m.).
Angers, which has been playing in Ligue 1 since 2015, has validated its retention for next season, and should finish between 14th and 16th place in the standings.
