Gazidis: «We’re not the PSG of the Segunda» at ASSE

Ivan Gazidis, president of Kilmer Sports and of ASSE, has reiterated the club’s stability message in a lengthy interview with L’Équipe. The executive made clear that owner Larry Tannenbaum wants the team to plan for the long term and build a strong organisation at every level, avoiding “reckless” spending.

A patience-first message

Gazidis used the conversation to stress his view of patience and sustainable investment: spending that is targeted and intelligent rather than rushed. As reported by L’Équipe, he spoke for almost an hour, reinforcing that the club’s direction is built around a long-term project.

No spending shortcuts

The core of the message is straightforward: ASSE aims to grow with a solid foundation, not through a “spend to solve everything” approach. L’Équipe highlights that Gazidis aligns with Tannenbaum’s vision, pointing to building across all departments.

For the day-to-day, this stance influences how the club will approach the transfer market and decision-making. The takeaway from Gazidis is that ASSE will prioritise consistency over short-term impact as it manages the season.
