Olivier Giroud and Les Bleus, it’s really over. The striker posted a farewell message to the French team on social media on Monday. Selected for the first time in 2011 by Laurent Blanc, the center forward is ending his international career after 13 years of loyal service, 137 caps and 57 goals.

“The dreaded moment has arrived: saying goodbye to the French team. Six years to the day after winning the World Cup.” On July 15, 2024, Olivier Giroud made his decision official on social media. The 37-year-old striker, who will play for Los Angeles FC next season, announced in May that he would end his international career after the Euro.

“My greatest pride and my best memory,” summed up the top scorer in the history of the Blues, with 57 goals in 137 selections.

“My career in the French team has not always been a long, quiet river. I have doubted at times, suffered from criticism too, but deep down, I have never stopped believing in it,” he insisted. He had lost his starting place in 2021, a victim of Karim Benzema’s return to the national team just before the Euro. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Winner of the World Cup in 2018, finalist in 2022, he came very close to a European title, failing in the final in 2016 at the Stade de France against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal (1-0 aet), and was eliminated this year in the semi-final of the Euro by Spain.

Against Poland at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, he became the record holder for the number of goals scored in the French team, surpassing Thierry Henry (51 goals). He has then scored one more goal during this competition, then three during the Euro 2024 qualifiers and the last of his career in a friendly match against Chile, on March 26, 2024.

After Hugo Lloris and Raphaël Varane at the end of 2022, it is another pillar of Didier Deschamps’ group, crowned world champion in 2018 in Russia, who is leaving the selection.

“Everything has not always been easy for Olivier in the French team but he has never given up, always showing seriousness, professionalism and fighting spirit,” reacted coach Didier Deschamps in a press release released by the federation.

Martin Kind is no longer managing director of the second division football club Hannover 96. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) declared on Tuesday in Karlsruhe that the dismissal of the entrepreneur as head of Hannover 96 Management GmbH by the management of the parent club Hannover 96 eV two years ago was legal.

As a final instance, the Federal Court of Justice rejected Kind’s lawsuit against the dismissal. The 80-year-old had successfully defended himself against this before the Hanover Regional Court and the Celle Higher Regional Court. However, the highest German civil court overturned their decisions on Tuesday.

Conflict between child and parent association for years

Kind is now only the majority shareholder in the professional football division at Hannover 96. He was not present on Tuesday and did not want to comment on the verdict at first, but announced a statement. “I would like to consult with my lawyers first,” said Kind. According to the 96 statement, he will move to the “supervisory board of Hannover 96 GmbH & Co. KGaA.”

The 80-year-old has been at odds with the parent club Hannover 96 eV for years. In July 2022, the parent club removed Kind as head of the professional football division and managing director of Hannover 96 Management GmbH. The entrepreneur had successfully defended himself against this in court until the current BGH ruling. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

No impact on 50+1 rule for now

The ruling of the Federal Court of Justice also has consequences for the German Football League (DFL). Because with a child, a staunch opponent of the 50+1 rule in German professional football is no longer in a responsible position. As managing director and majority shareholder of the spun-off professional football division of Hannover 96, he initially tried in vain to obtain an exemption.

Since then, many supporters of the rule have feared that he could take this restriction on the influence of external investors, which only applies in Germany, to a regular court. However, all courts dealing with the case made it clear that this case was not about the effectiveness of the 50+1 rule, but only about the long-standing dispute between the capital and the club sides at Hannover 96.

Kind was first elected president there in 1997. In 1999, he spun off the professional football division. With a short interruption from 2005 to 2006, Kind was always the managing director and majority shareholder of this division until this year. However, the parent club Hannover 96 eV has been run by Kind opponents since 2019.
