SINGAPORE -- The saga surrounding the S-League's deputy chief executive officer (CEO), Johan Gouttefangeas, has finally come to an end. The Football Association of Singapore on Monday night released an official statement saying that the Frenchman has stepped down less than a month after his controversial appointment.
Gouttefangeas was chairman of French club Etoile FC when they became the first foreign club to lift the S-League title in their rookie season here in 2010. He left abruptly in June last year, with Hicham Moudden taking over as chairman of the club.
He left Etoile with around S$100,000 in debt, and the club were unhappy when he was unveiled as the deputy CEO of the S-League, second to former SAFFC chairman Lim Chin, who was named the new CEO.
Etoile, who were struggling financially, duly pulled out of the 2012 Great Eastern-Yeo's S-League.
It was later revealed that Gouttefangeas owned two businesses in France that went bankrupt, a fact he failed to disclose to the selection committee charged to pick the S-League's new CEO.
