PARIS — Dmitry Rybolovlev will take over AS Monaco by the end of the year, the club's president said Tuesday.
"It's good news for AS Monaco and for French football in general," Etienne Franzi said after a hearing by the French League's financial watchdog.
Rybolovlev, 93rd on the Forbes list of billionaires, sold his stake in Uralkali for $6.5 billion in June 2010. Monaco was relegated from Ligue 1 at the end of last season and has only one win this term from 16 games.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
