When I was at FC Lorient, I had in mind to write a book on the management of a football club. Not because I thought I had discovered the perfect formula, but because I wanted to gather and share the lessons from my experiences.

The writing process was also the opportunity to explain why brilliant entrepreneurs venturing into football can experience great difficulty in achieving success with their clubs.

In a competitive but informal sector like football, formalizing the role of a club management made sense. I wanted to write the book that I would have loved to have read before beginning my journey into the sport industry.

Writing a book was like climbing a mountain, but as Muhammad Ali said, « It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it’s the pebble in your shoe ». I didn't have the pebble. I had the passion. After a few months of writing, rewriting, restructuring, I managed to reach the top of the mountain and found a publisher, Amphora, who accepted to move forward with me on this adventure.

Therefore, I am now pleased to have published my book in French « L’important c’est les trois points » on the 21st of April 2022 Voir moins
