Jean-Michel Delaplagne has two passions: education and football

Jean-Michel Delaplagne, former General Secretary of the FEDE, has recently published a book entitled ETG : un rêve inachevé [Evian TG: an Unfinished Dream]. The book, which includes a preface by Jean-Michel Aulas, chairman of Olympique Lyonnais, talks football in a highly thoughtful way, taking into account the financial, managerial and social challenges clubs face. The aim is clear: to show the similarities between the management of a football club and the management of a large company. We talk with the author, an educational expert with a passion for the beautiful game. What would you describe as the milestones in your career? I graduated from the Institut d’Administration des Affaires [Institute of Business Administration], Grenoble. I taught economics during my studies, which allowed me to experience the joy of sharing knowledge [lire plus]
