Le Mans (France), August 2 (LaPresse) – Novak Djokovic, one of tennis’s greatest champions, has become a co-owner of Le Mans, a club that plays in France’s Ligue 2. According to The Independent, the former ATP world number one joins a group of high-profile investors that also includes two former Formula 1 drivers, Felipe Massa and Kevin Magnussen. The deal is led by the Brazilian consortium OutField, co-founded by Pedro Olivera, and also involves Georgios Frangulis, CEO of the global healthy food brand OakBerry. Le Mans FC emphasized that Djokovic is “the most successful player in history, whose mental strength and unique approach will bring significant added value.” The club added that Massa, with 15 seasons in F1, and Magnussen, with 10, “will help build a bridge between football and motorsport, a distinctive strength of the Le Mans brand.”
