Versailles has entered a new era. After a first passage on June 6 where he had to provide new documents, the Versailles budget was validated by the DNCG on Tuesday. Thanks to the arrival of its new president and majority shareholder, Alexandre Mulliez, grandson of the founder of the Auchan group, former vice-president of Auchan Retail France, the club has been able to provide new guarantees while there are still a month and a half, the risk of a bankruptcy filing could not be ruled out.
If, as expected, its payroll will be controlled, Versailles also wants to return to a more reasonable salary policy. Of the twelve players still under contract (Amado, Armand, Brun, Gibaud, Jaques, Lapis, Leborgne, Lefèvre, Lens, Polomat, Prunier and Renot), some with comfortable emoluments, several will not be retained in the event of proposals.
After the validation of the DNCG, Versailles will be able to progress in the preparation of its next season. As we announced, Salomon Kashala, who was a recruiter at Dunkirk (promoted to L2) will become sports director. For the coaching position, according to our information, the choice finally fell on Laurent Peyrelade. If in the middle of last week, Sébastien Bichard (deputy Kosovo, Sion) was in pole position, the former coach of Rodez (L2) was therefore the most convincing and had taken a good lead as indicated on Tuesday by The team.
Laurent Peyrelade (53) stayed seven years (2015-2022) in Rodez which he raised to L2 in 2019. Dismissed from his post in November 2022, he had since been looking for a new project. In recent weeks, he has discussed and was on the short list of several National clubs (Red Star, Orléans, Dijon…).
