"It is a great honour for me to be the ambassador of e-Think Sport 2021. The honour is all the greater since Gérard HoullierGérard Houllier was the sponsor of the first edition. I will therefore spare a special thought for our friend Gérard throughout the event," announced Jean-Michel Aulas, who will effectively succeed the former coach of Olympique Lyonnais (2005-2007) and Liverpool FC before that (1998 to 2004), who passed away on 14/12/2020.

"Over the years, News Tank has established itself as a valuable daily monitor. In a world where one rumour follows another, News Tank's work as a reference is a lifesaver. e-Think Sport 2021 will be an opportunity to confront ideas and opinions in a world that is in the throes of crisis. I am confident that through all our exchanges, new models of resilience will emerge," said Jean-Michel Aulas, who will open the proceedings at e-Think Sport from 09:00 CETCETCentral European Time on Tuesday 26/01/2021.
With less than three weeks to go before an event that promises to be rich in debates and inspiration, the News Tank Football and News Tank Sport teams are mobilising their energy to offer an exceptional opportunity through discussions bringing together both French and international experts and workshops exploring cutting-edge topics.
Debate, share, inspire... e-Think Sport is the best way to gain an understanding of the challenges of the sport of tomorrow.
