the president of Angers, Saïd Chabane, resigns

While his club is moving dangerously towards Ligue 2 (the team occupies the last place in L1 with 11 points behind the 19th), Saïd Chabane resigns. It was via a press release, published on Wednesday March 29, that the SCO Angers announced that its president was leaving his post. At the end of a board meeting, which took place on March 21, during which “he tendered his resignation”his son, Romain Chabane, was named to succeed him.

Teddy Kefalas was also “appointed as Deputy Chairman”And “will be in charge of the operational aspects. His appointment will take effect from April 1, 2023”, says the club. At the beginning of March, the Ultras du Kop de la Butte 1992 had accused, in a press release, the president of having “locked into his role as an authoritarian president, firing staff who disagree with his methods and placing characters as insufferable as they are incompetent in key positions, provided they are blindly loyal to him”.

Red lantern, Angers also swims in troubled waters outside the green rectangle. Indicted on February 5, 2020 for sexual assault, Saïd Chabane will be tried in June 2023. Placed on the bench to act after the dismissal of Gérald Baticle, Abdel Bouhazama was forced to resign on March 7, for inappropriate comments.
