Lyon president Aulas steps down after three decades
The HinduOlympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas has stepped down from his role after more than three decades, with new owner John Textor appointed as a new chairman and chief executive officer, the French club announced on Monday. French newspaper L’Equipe reported that Aulas was due to remain president for three more years, but the new American ownership is looking to make substantial changes to the club’s structure. “OL Groupe sincerely thanks Mr Jean-Michel Aulas for his commitment and unreserved dedication to Olympique Lyonnais over more than three decades, during which time, more than 50 titles have been won for both the men’s and women’s teams,” the club said. “The priority of the new Chairman and CEO and the Board of Directors will be to strengthen Olympique Lyonnais’ position on the world football stage, in line with the highest ambitions of its illustrious history.” Lyon is seventh in Ligue 1 with four games remaining.
