Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
PSG has found its new general director. A lawyer by training, who arrived at the Parisian club in 2017 to occupy the role of general secretary of the club, Victoriano Melero replaces Jean-Claude Blanc, who left to join the ranks of INEOS in 2023. But according to journalist Romain Molina, this appointment resembles , strangely, to a default choice.
Left at INEOS in 2023, Jean-Claude Blanc was finally replaced at PSG. The interim manager, Victoriano Melero (55 years old) was appointed to the position of general manager. “ Paris Saint-Germain, one of the greatest sporting institutions in the world, is proud to announce the appointment of Victoriano Melero as General Manager. This appointment is part of the continuation of the new era of the Club, which emphasizes innovation, performance and excellence, on and off the field. the club said in a press release.
Al-Khelaïfi ignites for his signature
President of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is delighted to be able to rely on this trained lawyer, who also passed through TF1 and the French Football Federation. “ Victoriano has been a key figure in our company’s success over the past seven years and will help drive commercial strength, performance and innovation within our organization. This decision reflects the Club’s commitment to promoting our talents and asserting itself more than ever as a sporting institution, a global brand and company and a united community serving the entire Paris Saint-Germain family. the Qatari leader said.
A choice already criticized internally
But according to the journalist Romain Molina, there is nothing natural about this appointment. In reality, Melero would only be a default choice. In recent months, the PSG would have suffered numerous refusals. Worse, this choice would be far from unanimous internally, where the atmosphere would be calamitous. On Molina indicates that several employees complained about their financial and working conditions. Revelations that contrast with the joy of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
