Director general of the commercial subsidiary of the LFP, Benjamin Morel has resigned according to RMC Sport.
While Vincent Labrune and his board of directors are still publicly united, a major departure could well shake the “monarchy” of the former Orléans resident: that of Benjamin Morel, his general director within the commercial subsidiary of the League.
According to RMC Sport, the person concerned – who had been in post since the beginnings of the LFP company in January 2023 – offered his resignation, believing “not to have the possibility of carrying out his mission successfully in the current conditions”.
The architect of plan B at DAZN is leaving
A very bad signal sent from the person who was to be the architect of the LFP channel project before the DAZN – beIN Sports couple was finally favored for the 2024-29 TV rights for Ligue 1.
If the LFP commercial company still has time to restructure and Benjamin Morel will not leave overnight, Vincent Labrune will have to find a new arm in this very complicated period… With the risk of having to rethink a channel television by 2026 if DAZN and beIN were to terminate this broadcasting contract.
As a reminder, the LFP commercial company found itself in the eye of the storm last month, singled out for its lifestyle and its management by the senatorial mission led by Michel Savin.
