Re-elected as head of the LFP, Vincent Labrune agreed to lower his salary by 30%. His remuneration, which had tripled at the time of his arrival, remains significantly higher than that of his predecessor.

Vincent Labrune’s salary was starting to raise eyebrows within the LFP? It will go down. After his re-election, the president of the League will see his remuneration reduced by 30%, as will that of its general director Arnaud Rouger. It was a request from the board of directors, who wanted to reduce the body’s lifestyle, and which was accepted.

We had the objective of a 22.5% reduction in all costs in terms of human resources, and we have a proposal from the president of the League and its general director to reduce their remuneration significantly, up to by 30%, confirms with L’Equipe Jean-Pierre Caillot, president of Reims and the L1 college. The effort that is being made is more substantial than we imagined. We asked them for 30%. They accepted it without question. And unlike his predecessors, the president renounces any parachute clause in the future, the day he leaves. This clarifies the situation a little. »

Labrune, a salary that had tripled

Vincent Labrune, who often defends himself in front of the media by asserting that he is not “a man of money”, therefore makes a gesture. However, it will retain significantly higher treatment than its predecessor. When he became president of the LFP, his salary had tripled, from 400,000 euros annually to 1.2 million euros. With the 30% drop, it is now at 900,000 euros per year. These amounts were confirmed by Vincent Labrune during his hearing before the Senate last June.
