Benoît Rousseau

Benoît Rousseau is a French financial analyst. He worked as financial director of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. from 1996 to 1998, and was then a financial advisor to Lille OSC, OGC Nice, AS Saint-Étienne, FC Nantes and R.C. Strasbourg.[1]

On 13 July 2011, he was named interim president of PSG by the new Oryx Qatar Sports Investments (QSi) ownership, succeeding Robin Leproux.[2] An article in Le Parisien on 1 October said "His strength is being discreet. Most supporters have never seen his face or heard his voice. His three-month interim reign has included a historic transfer window, but no talk of him. In mid-October, he will abandon the hotseat with a sense of mission accomplished. Because he is a man who prefers to stay out of the spotlight".[3] He was succeeded by QSi president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.[4]
