Subject to the approval of the Swiss Football League, Yverdon-Sport passes under the American banner. President Mario Di Pietrantonio sold 90% of his shares to investors from across the Atlantic.
The man who brought Yverdon-Sport from the 1st Classic League to the Super League during his nine years as president assures that this sale is a “chance for the city, for the canton and for Switzerland”. ‘With its new owners, Yverdon Sport will remain in the Super League. The longest time possible. With the best possible ranking,’ assures the former president.
The new president is Jeffrey Saunders. This American, who chaired the Portuguese club Estoril for four years, is one of the new shareholders behind Jamie Welch, the strong man of this US governance who made his fortune in energy.
General manager of the club, Marco Degennaro believes that ‘the arrival of such a group was necessary’. ‘We pulled off a miracle last season with promotion to the Super League. It would have taken another to maintain if we had not been able to count on the arrival of Jamie Welch, he explains. We will now have the means to achieve our ambitions.’
New Skills
However, no figure was articulated during the press conference which endorsed this handover. Jeffrey Saunders revealed that the budget will be increased. “Our transfer window will be lively, he promises. Once once more, we want to invest for the long term in Yverdon. We want to develop the infrastructure, that is to say develop the stadium, consider the creation of a sports village. The academy and the women’s team will also be part of our project.
Jeffrey Saunders says he is convinced that investing in a club the size of Yverdon can prove fruitful. ‘We are bringing new skills to scouting. We can create value,’ he insists. The new president will be expected very quickly at the turn. Keeping striker Brian Beyer, the great craftsman of the promotion, would be the expected sign to give substance to this beautiful speech.
