controversial subject. The owner of Biarritz Olympique, Louis-Vincent Gave, justified the signing of Mohamed Haouas, to club subscribers via a letter. The Basque club confirms the signing of the pillar despite the prison sentences, in particular for domestic violence and aggravated violence.

“The recruitment shocked some,” writes Gave before playing the card of compassion vis-à-vis the “disarray of certain supporters”. “Before recruiting Mohamed Haouas, we spoke to his wife, who said to us: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us a chance to be able to make a new start,'” continues Gave.

The Biarritz Olympique has therefore not failed to make people talk about it lately. Gave and Jean-Baptiste Aldigé, who were to sell the club to buyers from Limoges, finally turned back and remain at the head of the club. A flipped sale that made people talk.
