Elected last September to the new board of directors of the Professional Football League (LFP), Olivier Létang presents himself as demanding support for Vincent Labrune. However, the current president of LOSC is reportedly eyeing the latter's position. Explanations.
Olivier Létang on his way to the LFP?
After having had functions in Reims, Paris, Rennes and therefore Lille since December 2020, Olivier Létang could well make the big leap to the LFP. In any case, this is the ambition of the 52-year-old leader if we believe Romain Molina. “ Olivier Létang has started his media tour, because he only dreams of one thing: recovering Vincent Labrune's position at the LFP. I believe that all club presidents are aware, it would be good if the general public was too and understood certain media interventions. »
On this last point, it is difficult to prove the investigative journalist wrong. In addition to his regular post-match speeches, Olivier Létang has just given two long interviews has RMC and the Team Channel. The opportunity for the president of LOSC to present his working methodology and, in turn, work on his image with the general public. And knowing that rumors are rife about an upcoming sale of the northern club, Olivier Létang could well find in the presidency of the LFP a good way out.
If this was his wish, it remains to be seen whether he will have to wait until 2028, the scheduled date of the next election, or whether a major event – such as the withdrawal of DAZN at the end of 2025 – could, for example, trigger an early electoral process. .
