Montpellier HubMontpellier remains under the control of the Nicollin family. In a lengthy statement published on the club's website on Monday, Laurent and Olivier Nicollin announced their decision to continue leading the club.
What happened?
The Nicollin family studied « all solutions that could ensure the future and sustainability of the club » before concluding that « our story with MHSC was not over ».
Why is this important for Montpellier?
The two leaders explain that they studied all possible options to ensure the club's future, despite a difficult context marked by relegation to Ligue 2, a decrease in TV rights, and the abandonment of the new stadium project.
What comes next?
Laurent and Olivier Nicollin also open the door to the arrival of partners sharing « their vision, values, and attachment to the territory ».
Currently, Montpellier is 8th in Ligue 2 with 51 points, 14 wins, 9 draws, and 11 losses in 34 games. The club has scored 41 goals and conceded 31, giving it a goal difference of +10. The club's last result was a 1-1 draw against Red Star FC 93 on May 9, 2026.

The Nicollin family is attached to Montpellier and the club's identity, founded 52 years ago by their father, Louis Nicollin. The leaders acknowledge that some decisions « would have probably been different », but they claim to want to preserve « independence », « identity », and « anchorage » of MHSC.
The club is 16 points behind leaders Estac Troyes and has a recent form of 1W-2D-2L in its last 5 games.
