Former Strasbourg president Egon Gindorf, who used to watch home matches in the stands with supporters, has died at the age of 89, the Ligue 1 club announced on Thursday.
“All our thoughts are with his family, loved ones and all Racing (Strasbourg) fans who have today lost a emblematic and historic figure in the club’s history,” the club said in a statement.
Gindorf, who took charge of the club in 2003, oversaw the side when they won the League Cup in 2005.
