  • Le Président
    LE PRÉSIDENT Laurent NICOLLIN Né le 26 janvier 1973 à Montpellier (Hérault) Né quelques mois avant la création du club montpelliérain, Laurent Nicollin a grandi et s’est construit à travers le MHSC. Il a suivi pas à pas l’évolution du club de son enfance jusqu’au poste de Président Délégué qu’il a occupé pendant plus de 10 ans. Durant cette période, il a notamment géré le club au quotidien et pris la mesure de chaque service et du rôle de toutes les composantes du MHSC. Un apport important pour la continuité du club puisque Laurent Nicollin le connait sur le bout des doigts. Au fil des années, il a apporté une vraie vision, mélange de respect du passé, d’innovation et de construction à moyen et long terme. Si sa part de responsabilité lors du titre en 2012 est indéniable, il a également mené des projets plus structurels notamment celui du centre d’entraînement Bernard-Gasset Mutuelles du Soleil, inauguré en mars 2015 et a insufflé le renouveau de la section féminine et de la formation. Depuis la disparition du Président et fondateur du club, Louis Nicollin, Laurent Nicollin a pris sa succession pour en assurer la pérennité et continuer de le faire grandir. Outre la progression de l’équipe première (10e il y a 2 ans, 6e à l’issue du dernier exercice), il s’attelle à pérenniser l’identité et l’état d’esprit du club et s’investit pleinement dans des projets d’avenir dont celui de la construction du nouveau stade et le développement des actions à destination du public montpelliérain.
