In the 2022/23 campaign, there will be 4 sides relegated from Ligue 1 and only two promoted up from Ligue 2 to achieve this.

During a meeting with Ligue 1 club representatives, a vote was taken on when this new measure should come in, with 9 voting for 2022/23, 9 voting for 2023/24, and 2 clubs abstaining. LFP President Vincent Labrune therefore took the decisive action to push the change into the later campaign.

A meeting will occur amongst Ligue 2 clubs this afternoon about reducing the number of teams in the French 2nd division to 18 also – this proposal has less proponents for it within the division itself vs the Ligue 1 vote.

Lyon extend Dakar Sacré Coeur partnership

Ligue 1 side Lyon on Monday confirmed the 3-year contract extension of their strategic partnership with Senegalese 1st division side Dakar Sacré Coeur.

A partnership that began in 2015 had initially been scheduled to run until last month, but both parties were happy to continue.

The partnership has so far resulted in OL signing two players from Dakar: 22-year-old attacking midfielder Ousseynou Ndiaye, who currently plays for Lyon’s reserves and 19-year-old defender Abdoulaye Niakhate Ndiaye, who also remains on the club’s books.

Matthieu Chupin, President of AS Dakar Sacré Coeur, had the following to say on the deal:

“Since 2015, Lyon and Dakar Sacré-Coeur have developed a sporting and human project of a very high quality. A number of synergies are at the origin of this wonderful story. Our two clubs, in different contexts and levels, share the same economic and social ambitions to serve high performing sporting projects. In the end, our partnership is a magnificent daily example of the richness of multi-culturality.”

Kevin Gameiro rejected Marseille because of a ‘personal choice’

French striker Kevin Gameiro (34) returned to Ligue 1 this week after eight years in Spain with Sevilla, Valencia and Atlético Madrid. His decision to chose former club Strasbourg over Marseille surprised some onlookers however. At this presentation Gameiro explained that decision.

“Marseille is a choice.” Gameiro said. “I spoke a lot with the president and coach there, we know that it is some context, especially when you are a former Parisian.” Gameiro spent two seasons with PSG between 2011 and 2013 scoring 23 goals in 77 games. “I would just say that it was a personal choice, that’s why I rejected the offer from Marseille.”

Regardless of his motivations and advancing age, Gameiro is an exciting addition to new coach Julien Stéphan’s Strasbourg side, the arrival of the former France international something of minor coup.

Mauricio Pochettino extends his PSG contract to 2023, finally ending suggestion of a departure

Despite only having been appointed at PSG in January following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel last Christmas, Mauricio Pochettino’s reign in Paris seemed to be in some doubt this summer.

At the start of June, Libération reported that Pochettino had informed PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Sporting Director Leonardo that he wanted to quit. Although PSG later denied this, reports of a return to Tottenham and links with the then vacant Real Madrid managerial position continued to surface. The Athletic reported that Tottenham even opened talks to re-hire Pochettino.

Neither move came to pass, however, and now Pochettino and his staff have finally debunked any further suggestion of an exit, for now at least, after an extension was triggered in the Argentine coach and his staff’s contracts, extending their stay in Paris to 2023. RMC, who broke the story, report that Pochettino wishes to stay at PSG in the long term.
