League One Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, son of former owner of Marseille
AFC Sunderland
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus became the youngest club owner in English football after taking over Sunderland at age 23.
The League One team was previously owned by Stewart Donald, who will now become a minority owner as the Black Cats try to return to the Premier League.
“Kyril‘s dedication, sharpness and integrity convinced us to accept his proposal, ” Donald said in a statement issued by Sunderland.
“His vision and desire to bring success back to Sunderland was obvious from the start and his offer is in our opinion the club’s best chance for long – term success and sustainability. ‘
Louis-Dreyfus is the son of Robert Louis-Dreyfus, former CEO of Adidas and former owner of the Ligue 1 club Marseille.
