Antoine Arnault on sponsorship policy

From Paris FC: Klopp? "Sooner or later, we’d love to have him," admits Antoine Arnault · · AFTER FOOT

“I forbid ourselves from going to our houses or our group asking them to be sponsors. However, if one of the houses... wants to be, it would be a bit stupid to refuse. So we won't go proactively to look for them, but if they want to come to us, they can.”

About Antoine Arnault

CEO of Berluti · LVMH

Antoine Arnault, president of Paris FC and CEO of Berluti at LVMH, appeared on RMC's After Foot program on May 19, 2026, to discuss the club's season and future plans. He described the season as "conforme à ce qu'on avait annoncé," noting the team finished 11th in Ligue 1 after a season with highs and lows, including a mid-season coaching change that he said worked well. Arnault characterized the club's ownership as a family project that has become a frequent topic of conversation among relatives, and he stated that the club's budget is "rather around a hundred" million euros, not 130 million as some might assume. Regarding infrastructure, Arnault said the club is still at a Ligue 2 level and that building competitive facilities for the Champions League requires time, adding that "there is one thing that cannot be bought, and that is time." On the possibility of Jürgen Klopp becoming manager, Arnault said, "un jour ou l'autre, on rêverait de la voir," but acknowledged it would not happen in the short term since Klopp does not wish to return to coaching quickly. He also stated that he would not proactively seek sponsorship from LVMH houses but would not refuse if they offered.
