After a 13-year absence, Ludovic Pairaud is again president of SA Parthenaisien, a club he led from 1996 to 2013.
Ludovic Pairaud has taken over the presidency of SA Parthenaisien, marking his return to a role he previously held from 1996 to 2013. The lawyer, who remains closely attached to the club, succeeds in a new chapter for the Fédérale 3 side. His appointment was confirmed recently, though the club did not provide further details about the transition.
Pairaud first led the club for 17 years, during which he oversaw its development and maintained a strong presence in regional rugby. After stepping down in 2013, he remained involved behind the scenes, supporting the club without holding an official position. This new mandate ends a 13-year gap since his last presidency.
The club is based in Parthenay, Deux-Sèvres, and competes in Fédérale 3, the fifth tier of French rugby. Pairaud's return comes at a time when the club is looking to stabilise and build on its recent performances. His legal background and long administrative experience are expected to bring continuity and governance expertise to the committee.
Those close to the club describe Pairaud as someone who never truly left, having devoted decades to its cause. He himself has referred to the club as representing 35 years of his life, underlining the deep personal connection that drives his renewed commitment. The upcoming season will show how his leadership shapes the club's ambitions on and off the field.
