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.
On 13 July 2011, he was named interim president of PSG by the new Oryx Qatar Sports Investments ownership, succeeding Robin Leproux. 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". He was succeeded by QSi president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
