Will a PSG legend land at Paris FC? According to information from RMC Sport that we are able to confirm, Rai, the former captain of the Seleção (51 selections), has been in discussion with the leaders of the 2nd club in the capital for a year for an ambassador role. which would allow an opening on the Brazilian market.
Now 57 years old, the winner of the 1994 World Cup could make his arrival at the PFC (Ligue 2) with Auriverde investors. As he announced at the last board meeting 3 weeks ago, Chairman Pierre Ferracci should, in fact, bring in a new minority shareholder in June. After the Kingdom of Bahrain (20%) in June 2020, then BRI Sports Holding (10%) in October 2021, the Noah Football Group has held 10% of the club’s capital since last February. Since Pierre Ferracci will remain the majority shareholder, Rai could enter as a minority shareholder.
The former captain of PSG marked the Parisian supporters with his charisma, his talent and his record. During his 5 years between 1993 and 1998 (72 goals in 215 games), he won the Cup Winners’ Cup (1996), the championship (1994), the Coupe de France (1995 and 1998) and the Coupe de la League (1995 and 1998). After a role… as an ambassador at PSG between the summer of 2006 and the summer of 2007, Raí no longer played a role in football until 2017.
On that date, he was appointed sporting director of Sao Paulo FC before resigning from his post on February 1, 2021, following the dismissal of coach Fernando Diniz. His arrival at the PFC would bring a little more light to the club of the capital which aims to rise within the elite. Thierry Laurey’s men have just ended their season with a 4th place then a defeat against Sochaux (1-2) during the L1 accession play-offs.
