Clermont Foot 63 is facing a delay in its presentation to the DNCG, initially scheduled for this week. The Tessier family, led by Stéphane Tessier, former CEO of OM and ASSE, is in pole position for the club's takeover. As the training resumption approaches, the club must finalize its operational management quickly. Two candidates remain in the running: the Tessier family and a Franco-American consortium led by Jacques d’Arrigo. Tessier's project has gained local support, with meetings held with the city hall and economic stakeholders in Clermont-Ferrand. The club, currently 14th in Ligue 2, has accumulated losses of around 7 million euros since its acquisition by Ahmet Schaefer in 2019. The situation is critical, and the presentation to the DNCG is crucial for the administrative and sporting future of Clermont Foot 63.
