In an interview with L'Equipe, Le Havre president Jean-Michel Roussier confirmed that the HAC was for sale but for the moment, the Norman club has not found a potential buyer.
Seventeenth in Ligue 1, Le Havre is in a delicate sporting situation. Financially, this is not much better for the Norman club, reprimanded by the DNCG last week with a ban on recruiting, except free players. The HAC payroll has also been regulated, which proves that the accounts are not in good shape. It must be said that in recent months, Le Havre has not been helped, in particular by the redistribution of funds injected by CVC, which is the subject of an ongoing procedure. Asked by The TeamNormandy president Jean-Michel Roussier also confirmed that the senior club was officially for sale, as has been the case for several months.
Le Havre is officially for sale
But to date, no potential buyer has come forward to acquire the club currently owned by Vincent Volpe. “Yes, a sale is on the agenda, it has always been since I arrived (in June 2022). You still have to find the buyer who meets all the expected criteria. And right now, we don't have it. Vincent Volpe shows all the time that he follows through on his commitments. There is no doubt about it. We discuss very often, and not only in relation to the measures taken by the DNCG on Friday. We exchange in total transparency” confided Jean-Michel Roussier in the columns of the national daily. It now remains to be seen whether Le Havre will manage to emerge from the financial and sporting crisis before a potential sale. For this, Didier Digard will have to revive a team in full doubt, and the former Nice player has his work cut out for him because he himself was the target of whistles from the public during the last home matches.
