Little by little, the new organization wanted by Counterpoint Sports Group (CSG), the new majority shareholder of Elan Béarnais, is being put in place. The group of American investors will take a new step in the coming weeks by placing one of its managers, Stu Jackson (65), at the head of the club. The former coach of the New York Knicks and the Vancouver Grizzlies (NBA) should succeed David Bonnemason-Carrère as president according to our information. The latter, a former lawyer for the club, had been president since the beginning of April and was at the head of the EBPLO during the handover. It remains to be seen what his new role will be in the organization, which should remain important.
In addition, a general manager should be appointed. Based in Switzerland, Tom Huston, Managing Director of European Operations at Counterpointe, could fulfill this task. Finally, if a departure is negotiated with Didier Gadou, Dominique Loueilh, general manager since April, will also remain in the organization.
Changes that should not destabilize Eric Bartecheky’s group, which, in its entirety since the signing of Giovan Oniangue, is preparing for the 2021-2022 fiscal year with ambition.
