Mikaël Hanouna came out of silence, he spoke about the situation of the football club he leads. The Chamois-Niortais are now relegated to National and anger is brewing among supporters. He announces that he will not resign and that the club is not for sale.
No, Mikaël Hanouna does not intend to resign.
The club is not for sale. Quit for what? I can resign from my post, but I will remain a shareholder of the club.

Things seem clear on his side. And he does not wish to respond to the press release from the supporters’ clubs who are asking for his departure. So what project does he have for the club today demoted to the National Championship after the last defeat 2 goals to 1 in Bastia.
For him, relegation is part of football.
It’s a shame, but that’s how it is. When we start a season in Ligue 2, there are 20 teams and we know that four of them will go down.

So he’ll go with it. Or rather without. Since the budget is going to be drastically reduced. The budget in the League was 8.5 million euros, nationally, it will be between 3.5 and 4 million. And therefore as a result, the payroll will also be affected, “when we are in Ligue two, it represents 2.2 million, in National this 1 million”.
Today, our club is not sized to fight in Ligue two. (…) The National is our level, we will start again.
Mikael HanounaPresident of the Chamois-Niortais
The club must be able to retain professional status for two years or more, but will no longer have TV rights. We will therefore have to do otherwise. “We will continue training with perhaps a ‘Chamois academy’. We are working on this with Franck Azzopardi (director of the training center, editor’s note). We will keep all our teams, and we will refocus our projects on the players of Niort and Deux-Sèvres.”
But what the club will be will be with Mikaël and Eytan Hanouna, they have no intention of leaving.
When we have invested in something, it is because we are attached to the club, of course we love the club, we defend it on a daily basis.
