After fifteen days of a notable absence, John Textoor left the presidency of Olympique Lyonnais (OL), giving his place to Michele Kangà and the Eagle Football Group, under pressure from Are. This decision, confirmed by Kangà herself, marks a significant reduction in Textoor’s influence in Decines, despite his position as leader of Eagle Football Holdings. Textoor will now focus 100% on Botafogo, a decision he had already announced publicly. This focus raises questions, particularly about the lack of financial transparency of the Brazilian club, whose balance sheet of 2024 was not published as planned in April. Textoor justified this delay by the publication of a S-1 registration declaration with the SEC, a complex process involving the confidential examination of the activities of Eagle and its subsidiaries.

In parallel with these developments within OL, Marie-Antoinette Katoto regained confidence and efficiency in front of the goal with the French team. After a period without a goal, she contributed to a turnaround in the friendly tournament against the Netherlands, allowing France to return to the score. His positive impact is palpable with his teammates, who stress his ability to motivate the team and his desire to win. This performance is all the more significant as it is part of a new challenge for the player, after more than ten years at the PSG.

The captain of the French team insists on the importance of Katoto’s freedom and confidence in his performance. She remembers this same determination in their past confrontations. To reach the last square of the Euro, the French team will need Katoto’s contribution, which will have to maintain its level of performance and positive attitude. Its role is crucial if the team is to advance in the competition and achieve its ambitions.
