His outings had been missed by French football. Guest in the show “Rothen s’igname” on RMC Sport, John Textor did John Textor in the text. Always more fanciful in his statements, the American businessman notably addressed a violent attack to his predecessor at the head of OL Jean-Michel Aulas, before discussing his relationship with Donald Trump. And the businessman had things to say: his neighbors are none other than the children of the President of the United States.
“I don’t particularly pay attention to Donald Trump,” he initially assumed. I live in a very small building in Palm Beach County. His two sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, have just moved there. There are Secret Service vehicles blocking my parking space, the one with the little Eagle Football logo. And despite that, they still park on it. So my problem with Donald Trump is mainly his children and the fact that they take my parking spaces. »
He had already insulted Trump last year
Asked about the controversial relationship between Fifa President Gianni Infantino and Donald Trump, John Textor, who had already called the American president an “asshole” in an interview given to L’Équipe in November 2024, then appeared disinterested, his gaze focusing more on his parking spaces.
“I see all the media coverage around this so-called bromance that he maintains with Infantino. I like Infantino, I met him. But what exactly is going on between him and Trump, I don’t know. It mostly looks like a communications stunt. You probably know much better than me what’s really behind it. I don’t know. I’m just worried about my parking spaces,” insisted the manager of the Eagle Football group.
Olympique Lyonnais, whose management he left to Michele Kang this summer, would probably have been better off in recent years if John Textor had devoted such an obsession to its good financial health. The sixty-year-old does not seem, in any case, ready to make the slightest gift to the American president for his famous parking spaces.
