Paris Saint-Germain
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi became the new chairman and chief executive officer of Paris Saint-Germain in October 2011.[9] Shortly after being named chairman he presented a five-year plan to take Paris Saint-German to the top of the tree in France and abroad.[10] As part of the long term plan for the club, Al-Khelaïfi brought in legendary footballer Leonardo as the new director of football.[11]
Although Al-Khelaïfi had initially demanded a major trophy haul for the 2011-2012 season, PSG were soon eliminated from the Europa League and both domestic cups, leaving the team only able to compete $130 million on players, PSG failed to dominate, and lost out to eventual winners Montpellier HSC, though they did qualify for the UEFA Champions League by finishing second.[12]
In the 2012-13 season, PSG won the Ligue 1 title and also made it to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, thanks partly to the goalscoring of newly signed striker, Zlatan Ibrahimović. They eventually lost in a two-legged tie to FC Barcelona on away goals.
In the 2013–14 season PSG again finished top of Ligue 1 with a record total of 89 points.[13] They reached the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League where they lost to Chelsea 3-3 on aggregate, again going out only on the away goals rule.
In June 2012, QSi acquired the Paris Handball Club and merged it with the PSG sport franchise to create a wider and more competitive sport offer to the city of Paris.[14]
