Will Jean Rességuié always be the “voice of football” on RMC at the start of the next school year?

Wednesday morning, Clément Garin, journalist specializing in media news, announced that Jean Rességuié was going to leave RMC at the end of the season. The 61 -year -old sports journalist is about to activate his transfer clause.

“According to my information, Jean Rességuié, the emblematic voice of the station, which has covered all the football events for 36 years, in turn has taken its transfer clause. Management will have to find a financial ground with him, because 36 years of seniority, it will be expensive! »»had written the former columnist of “Touche pas à mon poste” on the late C8.

Very quickly, many were the listeners to challenge the principal concerned about this information. “No comments to make. Just specify that I am not 71 years old.
And that it is not yet retirement. Thank you for your messages “
replied the native of Montauban on his X account.

Jean Rességuié, a reaction ambiguous

Jean Réséguié therefore simply indicates that he will continue his professional activity. He does not denume the information relayed by Clément Garin. As a reminder, the transfer clause is a provision allowing a journalist to leave a press company from his own initiative, while receiving the dismissal allowances. It can be activated in the event of the sale of a newspaper or periodical.

Last June, Altice Media, the parent company of the BFMTV and RMC radio television channel, was bought by the CMA CGM group, led by the billionaire Rodolphe Saadé. The amount of the transaction was then 1.55 billion euros.
