Stepping into the hot seat as the new general director of LFP Media, Nicolas de Tavernost stands to rake in some serious coin. According to L'Equipe, de Tavernost's recent nomination by the LFP to promote French professional football comes with a pretty penny - an annual salary of €600,000. If he bails out before a year, he'll only get half of that, equating to €300,000 as a farewell gift.
Amidst France's football landscape reeling under a financial crisis, with clubs struggling to balance their books and the ongoing feud with streaming service DAZN yet unresolved, this remuneration seems to align with the pay scale set for this strategic position, responsible for selling the rights of French professional championships. Notably, his predecessor, Benjamin Morel, received the same amount during his tenure.

But Nicolas de Tavernost's bounty doesn't stop there. Along with his comfortable paycheck, he's also been treated to an annual €500,000 loyalty bonus, providing he remains unshakeable in his post as director of LFP Media. This brings his grand annual earnings to a whopping €1.1 million, hang on tight, buddy!
Originating from the CVC seed fund, this decision hasn't made many Local League 1 clubs best buddies, with Le Havre AC taking the lead in the angry mob. Despite the club asking for a chunky €7.5 million from the CVC fund, they were left red-faced and empty-handed, with the fund insisting it wasn't meant for those purposes.
