Press releases have fallen from everywhere in recent weeks on the side of Angers. Two months before the end of a disastrous season on all levels, the red lantern of Ligue 1, already almost condemned to the L2 with its 10 points in 28 days, has just announced this Wednesday the departure of its president Saïd Chabane. "On March 21, during a board meeting, President Saïd Chabane submitted his resignation and thus decided to take the height," said the statement on the club's website.



Summoned before the criminal court of Angers on June 14 where he will be tried for sexual assault, the one who was at the head of the club since 2011 lives a particularly eventful season. It was also marked by two changes of coaches, including a big controversy that pushed Abdel Bouhazama off the bench of the professional team. The press release continues with an astonishing information, which is not likely to delight SCO supporters: "The owner of Angers SCO decides to give up his place to his son Romain Chabane".

We learn later that after another board of directors, which took place on Saturday, a certain Teddy Kefalas was appointed to the position of deputy president of the club. "The latter will be in charge of the operational aspects from 1 April." Courage to the Angevin supporters for this new era that opens in Ligue 2.
