Taking his seat in the VIP section of the stadium will be Toulouse president Damien Comolli, the man who has overseen the club's resurgence since his arrival in 2020, helping them climb out of the French second division to win silverware and return to continental competition.
Later he worked as director of football at Tottenham Hostpur, where he was notably responsible for the signings of Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modric. "At Liverpool I was reproached for having signed Jordan Henderson. People said it was a big mistake," Comolli remembered in an interview with So Foot magazine last year.
Toulouse, France's fourth-biggest city, is better known for rugby than football and TFC had just been relegated from Ligue 1 in 2020 at the end of a season curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a rare trophy for Toulouse and it sealed their place in this season's Europa League, although only after they were cleared by UEFA amid concerns about their links to Milan, who are competing in the Champions League.
