Since 2011, Qatar has been at the head of PSG. At the same time, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was appointed president of the capital club and he therefore became a central figure in French football. Even if he is known as being rather calm, the Parisian boss can also lose his temper, as was recently the case with OL president John Textor.
If PSG is today one of the most powerful clubs on the planet, it owes it largely to Qatar. Indeed, it was in 2011 that the state of Middle East bought the capital club and significantly accelerated its development. This notably resulted in a final of Champions League during the 2019-2020 season.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is at the head of PSG
Since 2011, it is Nasser Al-Khelaïfi who serves as president of the PSG. The boss of the capital club is sometimes criticized by some and others even dare to stand up to him. This was particularly the case of John Textor recently, on the question of TV rights.
Al-Khelaïfi clashed with Textor
According to information from The Team, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi et John Textor were opposed on the question of TV rights last summer and in particular when the LFP pushed the idea of a broadcast platform project, in association with the group Discovery. Usually very calm, the president of PSG then showed his teeth against his Lyon counterpart. The latter then had “the obvious conflicts of interest in France, the relationships between clubs, the League, television broadcasters and the representation of European governing bodies, too influenced by a small group of people. »
