Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Paris FC is preparing to enter a new era. Indeed, the Parisian club is in the process of being bought by the Arnault family, who, however, are not arriving alone. The Red Bull group will also bring all its expertise to the PFC and this could notably be reflected in future transfers. Antoine Arnault has also promised something big with Red Bull in the transfer window.
In a few days, the takeover of Paris FC will finally be formalized. The family Arnault will thus take control within the Parisian club, but she does not arrive alone. Indeed, now, at PFCwe will also find the group Red Bull. How does this fit together? We now know more.
“Recruit the best players” thanks to Red Bull
At a press conference this Wednesday, Antoine Arnault was asked about association with the group Red Bull for the redemption of Paris FC. The Austrian firm will be there above all to help from a sporting point of view, particularly on the transfer market. “ We don't arrive alone, we arrive with a partner. We have no skills in terms of football team management. We got to know Red Bull through Formula 1. Red Bull has very strong football skills. It was a very virtuous and positive discussion from the start. The idea of working together on a football project in France interested them. 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, they will help us in many aspects, to recruit the best players and to unearth them better than the others. But they are not here to be co-owners with us », explained Antoine Arnault.
“It could make a good combination”
About this association with the group Red Bull au Paris FC, Antoine Arnault also explained in his interview for RMC : « We wanted to surround ourselves well and we joined forces with people we know well through other sports. We partnered with Red Bull which has very strong expertise in F1 but also in football since with Leipzig, Salzburg and other teams all over the world, they managed to create stories like that starting from 'far enough, by bringing up different clubs. Leipzig, the story is that they still started from the fifth division and arrived in the Champions League in seven years. I wish us exactly the same trajectory. We are not going to put the cart before the horse but it would be extraordinary, with their sporting skills in terms of management. You have seen that a football legend has arrived to also supervise the different teams with Jürgen Klopp. So I think it could make a good combination. ».
