Antoine Arnault and Pierre Ferracci were at a press conference this Wednesday to discuss for the first time in front of the media the takeover of Paris FC by the Arnault family.
Administrator of LVMH, Antoine Arnault is officially the new boss of Paris FC. Bernard Arnault's son was at a press conference this Wednesday alongside current president Pierre Ferracci to publicly discuss the takeover of the Ile-de-France club for the first time. First questioned by the partnership with Red Bull, Antoine Arnault made it clear that the alliance with the Austrian group was simply a partnership and even if Red Bull owns 11% of the club, the decision-making power belongs entirely to the Arnault family. “This club will belong to my family, this club will not be co-owned by the Arnault family and Red Bull. Red Bull will be in the minority, they do not want to access multi-ownership. They are a sporting partner” explained the new boss of Paris FC in detail.
Antoine Arnault “loves PSG”
Antoine Arnault was also asked about local competition with Paris Saint-Germain, the current dominant club in the Paris region. The opportunity for the new boss of Paris FC to proclaim his love for the current French Ligue 1 champion. “PSG is a club that I have loved since I was 12 years old. It’s a chance to be invited by my friend Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. You will never hear me say anything negative about Paris Saint-Germain. I do not rule out supporting two clubs in Paris. And even in Ligue 1, I would support PSG… except twice a year (laughing)” warned Antoine Arnault, who is already imagining the confrontations between Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC in Ligue 1. Before that, it will still be necessary to validate the rise, which is well underway but far from being done. After 13 Ligue 2 matches, the PFC is leader with 1 point ahead of Lorient and 2 points ahead of Dunkirk.
