Lyon put under financial sanctions as OL Reign sale remains incomplete

News on the planned sale of OL Reign by Eagle Football Holdings continues to trickle out, but with little progress being made so far in completing the transaction. The latest comes via an interview by new OL CEO Santiago Cucci, who was just appointed to the position from the recently departed Jean Michel Aulas, who confirmed that the sale is not yet complete but that multiple buyers are interested.

In an interview with RMC Sport, Cucci discussed his first planned moves as new club CEO, including reaction to the decision by the DNCG (French football’s financial governing authority) to sanction Lyon and put them under surveillance after the club failed to meet the financial obligations promised by new owner John Textor when he took over the club earlier this year.
