While Olympique Lyonnais has fallen to last place in Ligue 1, Vincent Ponsot sees his duties evolve and will now take care of the women’s section exclusively.
Change within Olympique Lyonnais. The Rhone club announces this Monday morningn “the appointment of Vincent Ponsot to the position of General Director of OL Féminin, which will be effective on January 3, 2024”.
“After 14 years serving the men’s and women’s teams, Vincent Ponsot will focus, in his new role, on realizing Michele Kang’s vision for women’s football”, indicate the Gones. OL, through Michele Kang, the owner of the women’s section, greets the “leadership” by Vincent Ponsot, as well as “ his experience and references. »
Presented like this, it looks like a promotion for Vincent Ponsot, in somewhat strange timing the day after this defeat against Clermont (1-2) which confirms OL’s serious sporting crisis. In reality, it is more of a sidelining for someone who was close to Jean-Michel Aulas. Ponsot was until now general director, in charge of both the men’s and women’s sections. A new manager should be appointed soon to take over his duties with the men’s team.
“Vincent Ponsot has already started working closely with President John Textor to identify his successor as General Manager of Men’s Football who will be appointed shortly”explains OL.
