INFO LE FIGARO – He will be replaced at the start of the school year by Lionel Dangoumau, the current editor-in-chief of the newspaper’s Football service.
It’s a surprise start. According to our information, Jérôme Cazadieu, the current editorial director of The Team, will soon leave the group. The journalist would have seized a new professional opportunity. He had worked for the L’Équipe group for more than two decades. He started his career there in 2002, as a versatile journalist. Then carried out investigations for the magazine as a major reporter before launching the magazine/investigation pages of the daily newspaper. In 2012, he set up a service dedicated to new writing and new formats which led to the creation of L’Équipe Explore. And, for eight years, he led the group’s print and digital editorial staff. It was he, in particular, who had managed the transition from the sports newspaper to the tabloid format.
Pure newspaper product The team
The 40-year-old leaves on good terms with his employer. Warned a few days ago, the latter has already found a successor, recruited internally. This is Lionel Dangoumau who inherits the same perimeter as his predecessor, namely the direction of the print and web editorial staff of The Team, which totals around 300 journalists (to which is added about fifty journalists on the TV channel). Aged 44, a graduate of Science Po and the ESJ, Lionel Dangoumau is well known to the teams: he is the current editor-in-chief of the Football department. Like Jérôme Cazadieu, he has spent his entire career with The Team.
In the early 2000s, he was awarded the Jacques Goddet prize for the best press article written on the Tour de France. The winner is rewarded with a 3-month CDD at The Team. His collaboration continued as a correspondent in Nancy, where he covered football for four years. Then he became the newspaper’s special correspondent in Barcelona, Spain. In 2016, he joined the head office, in Boulogne, as deputy editor-in-chief then editor-in-chief of the football department, a position he still holds today. Beyond its expertise for everything related to this sport, this pure “in-house” product would also be appreciated for its managerial qualities.
Jérôme Cazadieu will step down on September 3. The time for The Teamto manage the handover.
