Snoop Dogg considered for FC Nantes ambassador role in prospective takeover

According to L'ÉEquipe, Franco-Portuguese entrepreneur Paulo Tavares, who leads the investor group Phenix Sports Invest, is said to be close to buying FC Nantes. His plan includes a possible international ambassador role for Snoop Dogg.

The idea may appear unlikely, yet it sits within the project outlined by the prospective buyer of the Canaris.

The Ligue 2 club would, in that scenario, seek to expand its international reach by engaging a high-profile ambassador.

Any sight of the American rapper in the stands at La Beaujoire remains highly hypothetical.

Even so, the pairing could make sense, given Snoop Dogg's long-standing affinity with sport.
