"It is an honor and a source of pride to succeed Pierre Ferracci, on behalf of my family. For nearly twenty years, he has been the tireless architect of the Paris FC project. Over the last two years—since Agache took over the club—we have laid the foundations for a future-oriented organization, one that aims to progress step-by-step, methodically and calmly," said Antoine Arnault. "Our ambition is to build a club that remains true to its values, deeply rooted in Paris and the Île-de-France region, and close to its supporters, young players, and football enthusiasts alike. I intend to build my presidency upon the work done over the past two years to transform the club and establish it as a significant player in both French and European football." When his family acquired a controlling stake in the club in November 2024, Antoine Arnault had left some uncertainty as to whether he would succeed Pierre Ferracci as president. However, as the months passed—and as he became increasingly involved in every aspect of the club’s operations, including the most sensitive matters—he grew to enjoy the role. It is only logical that he should now take on the position as the representative of the owner. As he has done from the start, he will continue to delegate to and place his trust in the operational teams, while encouraging them to innovate. "Antoine hasn't reduced his involvement in his other professional activities to make time for Paris FC; he is highly organized and brings the same level of commitment to everything he does," notes an associate. "Currently, the club takes up about 10 to 15% of his time."   submitted by   /u/StadeSaintGermain [link]   [comments]
