Benoît Rousseau (born 1967/1968) is a French financial analyst. He worked as financial director of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. from 1996 to 1998, and was then a financial advisor to Lille OSC, OGC Nice, AS Saint-Étienne, FC Nantes and RC Strasbourg Alsace.[1] Formerly a president of Paris Saint-Germain, Rousseau is president of the Association Paris Saint-Germain as of April 2021.[2]

Paris Saint-Germain

From 1996 to 1998, Rousseau worked as a financial director for Paris Saint-Germain.[1]

On 13 July 2011, he was named interim president of PSG by the new Qatar Sports Investments (QSi) ownership, succeeding Robin Leproux.[3] An article in Le Parisien on 1 October said "His strength is being discreet. Most supporters have never seen his face or heard his voice. His three-month interim reign has included a historic transfer window, but no talk of him. In mid-October, he would abandon the hotseat with a sense of mission accomplished, because he is a man who "prefers to stay out of the spotlight".[4] He was succeeded by QSi president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.[5]

In December 2012, Rousseau became president of the Association Paris Saint-Germain.[6][2]
