🚨 Breaking news: Change at the helm of Olympique Lyon

Michele Kang assumes the presidency of Olympique Lyonnais following the departure of John Textor

Olympique Lyonnais has announced the resignation of John Textor as club president. In his place, Michele Kang, current president of the women's team OL Lyonnes, has been appointed the new president of the men's team.

The change comes amid a delicate moment for the club, recently relegated to Ligue 2 by decision of the DNCG, a decision that OL plans to appeal in July. Kang will lead this strategy alongside Michael Gerlinger, the club's new general manager.

Kang thanked Textor for his vision at the helm of OL and assured that she will work closely with the management team to face this new stage. With her appointment, she becomes the first female president of a club in the elite of French football.
