Last night, the VAFC formalized the existence of negotiations between the club and Sport Republic regarding the sale. This Saturday, everything seems to be accelerating again, as explained by L’Équipe. According to the sports daily, two people should arrive in the direction of Valenciennes. Knowing football well, they could instill a dynamic.
Matthias Leterme and Ben Chorley at VAFC?
End of reign for Eddy Zdziech? In any case, this is what reveals The Team, which refers to the sale of 88% of SASP, i.e. without small shareholders. In fact, Sport Republic, an English investment company, will place its pawns. Starting with the general management with Matthias Leterme, 37 years old. The Belgian has resigned from his former position at Kortrijk (Jupiler Pro League), where he was already managing director. On the sporting side, Ben Chorley, formerly director of football at Swindon Town, should be appointed to the same function at the VAFC.
Passed by Arsenal, Brentford, Leyton Orient (view the photo) or Portsmouth, the 40-year-old Englishman knows football well. It is in this line that he would be named. More than ever, these two potential appointments would seal the fate of Valenciennes and a sale expected for several years. Thus, place at the DNCG on June 27 to formalize the sale of the northern club and ratify the sale.
