Jean-Claude Darmon - L'argentier : L'homme, le pouvoir, le foot
He never scored a single goal as a professional, but he profoundly transformed soccer. Starting from nothing, Jean-Claude Darmon ushered in a new era for the sport: one of business and spectacle. Sponsorship, marketing, television rights—he designed it all, negotiated it all, and turned it all upside down. Between confidential agreements, daring moves, and ego rivalries, his rise to the top reads like an epic tale.
