A memorandum of understanding for the sale was signed on December 31, 2024. Information confirmed by Alain Orsoni, the president of the holding company “Ajaccio imperial Corse investment”, a structure which holds the reins of the ACA.
The emblematic leader of the ACA has, however, not communicated the name of the future buyer(s). A confidentiality clause having been signed thus preventing the identity of the future boss of the club from being revealed aceist as well as the amount of the sale.
Although little information has filtered out for the moment, Alain Orsoni emphasizes that “this agreement includes the sale of the majority of shares” and that “the new owners will be the bosses”. Among these actions are obviously those of Alain Orsoni who is preparing to pass the torch and put an end to a long history of more than 30 years at the head of the White and Red House. With a serene air, a smile on his lips, the 70-year-old man made it clear that his “shares represent 22,000 euros with a global capital of 980,000 euros“. Before continuing: “My story is coming to an end. Normally, in three weeks, everything will be finished. I hope that the new arrivals will allow the club to maintain itself and develop even further. Anyway, that’s all we sell for!”
A particular context
A sale that is taking place in a very specific context. As a reminder, in the off-season, the club had been relegated to National by the DNCGthe financial policeman of French football, then drafted at the last minute in Ligue 2. An eventful summer which continued, a few weeks later, with the departure of Daniele Bufanothe son-in-law of Alain Orsoni, as president of the club.
The ACA has a meeting this Tuesday, December 10 with the DNCG as part of the mid-season review. It remains to be seen whether this potential takeover will be able to convince and above all reassure the League authorities. A meeting which promises to be crucial for the future of AC Ajaccio.
