In the summer of 2024, Paris Saint-Germain saw its longtime announcer Michel Montana retire (from this role) and spent the 2024-2025 season conducting trials to find a new voice. According to Ici Paris, the Parisian club has now made its choice: Vincent Royet.
“PSG took a little over a year to find Michel Montana’s official replacement. After numerous tests, the reigning European champions have decided in favor of Vincent Royet. Arriving from the world of basketball, this professional announcer made his mark by hosting the Champions League title celebrations on June 1st at the Parc des Princes.
He is also the voice of the French national basketball and handball teams. He will make his official debut this Friday at the Parc des Princes against Angers.”
This media outlet is particularly reliable on this subject, so we can assume that it is so assertive only because it has certainties. And it’s a choice that makes sense, because Vincent Royet was very convincing during his time at the Parc des Princes. No doubt aided by his extensive experience in sport. We can only welcome him back and wish him many more great moments at PSG. Perhaps for a message as memorable as Montana’s, which will remain a significant part of the club’s history.
