Mr. Kefalas “will be in charge of the operational aspects. His taking office will take effect from April 1, 2023, ”says the club. In recent years, the Angevin club, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, has been going through a bad patch. Not only is the club sinking into the depths of the Ligue 1 rankings this season, but its ex-president himself, Saïd Chabane, has been implicated in the legal system since February 2020. He has been indicted for aggravated sexual assault.
Despite his denials, six young women who were his employees at the time of the facts denounced, including four at the SCO, have filed a complaint against him and a trial is looming. Following this crisis, Mr. Chabane had dismissed several of his collaborators and entrusted responsibilities to people with sometimes controversial skills.
