Clermont agree sale to ABL Finance, DNCG decision expected after Tuesday hearing | OneFootball

Clermont have agreed to sell a controlling stake to ABL Finance.

The club said in a statement on Sunday that an agreement had been reached with current owner Coresports Alliance to transfer 94.33% of SASP Clermont Foot 63.

Seven years after his takeover, Ahmet Schaefer has decided to step aside. Stéphane Tessier, formerly Pablo Longoria’s deputy at Olympique de Marseille, is expected to succeed him.

Ahmet Schaefer and Stéphane Tessier are due before the DNCG at 14:30 on Tuesday to validate the agreement and complete the sale.

All parties are now working to finalise the transaction in line with the timetable and applicable procedures.

Clermont play in Ligue 2 and finished 13th this season. If the sale is approved, the leadership would work towards a swift return to Ligue 1.
