The ax fell on Wednesday. Niort (Ligue 2) was fined 250,000 euros and will be deprived of the Coupe de France next season, for an offense during a change of shareholder this summer, the Professional Football League announced on Wednesday (LFP ). The DNCG, the financial gendarme of football, criticized the Chamois Niortais for “failure to comply with the control procedure before the change in the club’s reference shareholder that took place last August“, explains the LFP in a press release. This follows the departure at the end of August of the former president and shareholder Karim Fradin, which led to a change of majority shareholder, who is now Mikaël Hanouna, the sports director.
