How did the change in leadership and accounting practices at the FFA contribute to the financial crisis?

The deficit stems from various factors including negotiated departures of key personnel (ex-director general Souad Rochdi and legal director Clément Gourdin), a change in accounting practices, and potentially differing valuations of assets such as Adidas sponsorship equipment. Tensions exist between Gracia's new administration and the previous leadership under André Giraud, potentially contributing to the situation. The FFA is analyzing the accounts and expects to provide further details in two weeks.
