Louis Montassier was a French figure active in the French protectorate in Tunisia.

Career

[edit]

Secretary of the central administration of the Tunisian government[1], he was the first president of Espérance Sportive de Tunis from January 1919 to June 1919.[2][3]

Indeed, the authorization for the sports club depended on the appointment of a Frenchman to the board of directors, in accordance with the legislation in force at the time [4], which went against the founders' project to create an Arab-Muslim association.[1] Furthermore, Montassier conditioned his entry into the board on his appointment as president[1]. However, as soon as the legislation changed, Mohamed Malki replaced him.[1]
