Johan Micoud is changing avenues. A long-time pundit on L'Équipe du Soir , the former French international is leaving the L'Équipe channel program to join Ligue 1+ starting next season. The former Girondins de Bordeaux midfielder will become a commentator for the platform dedicated to the French league. He will be able to commentate on up to two Ligue 1 matches each weekend.
Up to two matches with commentary each weekend
This new role marks a significant evolution for Johan Micoud, who has long been a consultant and commentator on television. On Ligue 1+, he will now be directly involved in broadcasting matches and will provide commentary during the games. His arrival strengthens the Ligue 1+ editorial team, which is continuing to build its structure for the new championship season.
A long-standing presence in "L'Équipe du Soir"
Over the years, Johan Micoud had become a regular presence on L'Équipe du Soir . His contributions, particularly regarding Ligue 1, the French national team, and European competitions, had made him one of the show's most recognizable pundits. His departure thus brings to an end a long collaboration with the program, as he prepares to take on a different role on Ligue 1+.
The former French international remains at the heart of Ligue 1.
A French champion with Girondins de Bordeaux and a former French international, Johan Micoud knows the French league particularly well. After his playing career, he gradually established himself in the media as a pundit. Starting this season, viewers will now be able to see him commentating on Ligue 1 matches, potentially covering up to two games per weekend.
