Novak Djokovic, Formula 1 drivers Kevin Magnussen and Felipe Massa not only have great sporting careers in common, but also a successful joint project - ownership of the French football club Le Mans.

The ownership structure also includes the fiancé of top tennis player Arina Sabaljenka, Yorgos Frangoulis, and since February, the famous Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, has joined them.

The epilogue of the collaboration of the best - Le Mans returned to League 1 after 16 years. Especially with new owners, as they were promoted to League 2 last year.

The club from northwestern France sealed their return to the top flight with a 2-0 victory over Bastia in Corsica. With that win, Bastia lost its status as a Ligue 2 team.

The "Red and Yellow" have completed an incredible comeback, having gone through a difficult period in previous years, including playing in amateur leagues.
