Nicolas de Tavernost, the former prominent head of the M6 group, has disclosed his decision to leave LFP Media, the commercial subsidiary of the Ligue de football professionnel (LFP), with this announcement made during a Thursday afternoon board meeting. This departure has been confirmed by sources close to the situation and echoed in Le Figaro's reporting. During the meeting, LFP president Vincent Labrune expressed unanimous support for the Ligue 1+ initiative from all clubs, thanking de Tavernost for his significant contributions to the project's development, and expressed a desire for him to remain in his role.

De Tavernost's departure marks a significant shift in leadership within the LFP Media, an organization that plays a vital role in managing the commercial aspects of French professional football. His leadership has been admired for its focus on the growth of Ligue 1+, which aims to enhance the visibility and revenue of French professional football. The announcement has raised questions about the future directions of both LFP Media and Ligue 1+ following his exit, as de Tavernost's experience and vision have shaped recent strategies.

The confirmation of an irrevocable decision suggests that LFP Media will need to initiate a search for a new leader who can navigate the challenges ahead, especially in a competitive sports market. This transition period may affect ongoing projects and relations with various stakeholders, as the organization strives to maintain progress and momentum in promoting French football on both local and international stages.
