Three months and then gone. Like Amazon Prime, which struck a major blow by offering the services of Thierry Henry when launching its Ligue 1 offer, DAZN turned to France 98 to find its star consultant. The new holder of the championship rights had in fact set his sights on Patrick Vieira, who had just arrived from RC Strasbourg.
The story did not last long since the former midfielder decided to return to service on the bench. The world champion was named new coach of Genoa and therefore left DAZN after a very mixed stint. The channel has obviously started looking for a replacement and several personalities have already been approached, according to The Team.
A first as a consultant
And according to the X account “La source parisienne”, a new consultant is about to make his big debut on DAZN. Without a bench since the end of his adventure with the PSG U19s, Zoumana Camara will officiate this Friday evening during the clash between PSG and Toulouse, at the opening of the 12e day of Ligue 1 in pre-match alongside Smaïl Bouabdellah then in commentary with Julien Brun.
Retired from the field for almost ten years, the former central defender will make his big debut behind a microphone on this occasion. Although he does not know the profession of consultant, he knows Ligue 1 very well, having played for four residents of the championship: Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Lens and PSG.
