Florent Malouda, one of the rightful owner of the position in the first 11 in recent seasons at Chelsea is playing at the highest level in the Premier League for his team. Beside this he feels attracted bythe administrative side of football.

He decided to enter the French Second Division, like a shareholder of Dijon club, where his younger brother, Lesly, is playing. The midfielder from Stamford Bridge will bring money to the club, meant to help develop children’s center and junior club in Burgundy.

Dijon’s president, Bernard Gnecchi, confirmed that 30-year-old footballer will be involved financially in the divisional second:

“Florent will put money in Dijon and will enter in the board of the club. It is currently very busy and may not represent the official club, but certainly in the future he will have more free time he can devote to Dijon.

His experience in football could be very helpful. Dijon wants to work at the highest level with children and juniors. Obviously, Lesly brother’s presence at the club had to do with his decision.”

Malouda has 121 matches for Chelsea and scored 33 goals in the blue T-shirt. He also collected 65 selections in the French national team where he scored another five goals.
