If he has enjoyed undeniable success on television, despite the numerous controversies that accompany it, Cyril Hanouna has had much less success in football.
Once is not customary, Cyril Hanouna will be in the spotlight this Thursday evening on France Télévisions. The new issue of Complément d’investigation will in fact be dedicated to him and Tristan Waleckx, its presenter, has promised numerous “revelations about the new godfather of the PAF”. “At first he was delighted. Then #ComplementDenquete investigated… and he promised to delete us,” he wrote in a teaser on Twitter.
It will undoubtedly mainly be a question of his omnipotence at C8 and his enormous contract awarded by Vincent Balloré. The star presenter of Tout le Monde en Parle experienced much less success during his short-lived stint in football. Associated with former OM defender Souleymane Diawara and player agent, Karim Aklil, Cyril Hanouna took over Athlético Marseille, formerly GS Consolat, in the summer of 2018.
“I love football and it’s a local club that needed help to get started. It’s a nod to the young people from the cities who will join the “darka” if they play for this club. It is not impossible that I help other small teams like that, in Marseille or elsewhere. I am originally from Paris and I have the particularity of supporting both OM and PSG”, he then explained.
Alas, four years later, Athletico Marseille, dropped to National 3 (5e division), was going to file for bankruptcy, the Marseille court pronouncing its liquidation after nearly sixty years of existence. Consequence of the serious financial difficulties which the other club in the Marseille city had to face despite its prestigious investors.
