Le Mans FC is experiencing a significant turning point with the announcement of Thierry Gomez's departure, president of the club for 10 years. On Tuesday, June 16, in an emotional letter, he revealed his decision to step down, surprising many supporters, especially after the recent promotion of the men's team to Ligue 1. Thierry Gomez took over the presidency of Le Mans FC on July 4, 2016, when the club was struggling in N3. Under his leadership, Le Mans FC experienced an impressive rise, moving from N3 to Ligue 1, erasing the painful memories of the judicial liquidation in 2013. In his letter, he nostalgically recalls his memories, including the first victory at MMArena against Blois. Gomez also thanked those who supported him during his tenure, emphasizing the importance of knowing when to leave. The club is now entering a new era with the Brazilian fund OutField taking over, while coach Patrick Videira has had his contract extended until 2029.
