Sunday evening, in Munich, he will comment on his last match at the microphone of RMC, on the occasion of the final of the League of Nations, opposing Portugal to Spain. After 2580 commented matches, Jean Rességuié will bow out.

“I started to have difficulties with the sequences. I will be 62 years old and I am a little worn at the rate of 80 games per year. There are personal reasons, too “said the 61 -year -old sports journalist on the occasion of an interview given to Parisian.

It is Jean-Louis Tourre, host of the program “Rothen ignites” on the 18h-8 pm from Monday to Friday, who will replace him. “He wanted to take the plunge, as I did after being a host. I am very happy for him ”says the one who calls himself “Jeannot”.

Jean Rességuié, the “voice of football”

Jean Réséguié started on RMC in 2001 by presenting the Sports Journal in the morning, before becoming the “voice of football”. 24 years later, this native of Montauban left the general radio station at the end of the season, by activating his transfer clause.

As a reminder, this 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.
