Fashion designer Daniel Hechter took over as president of the club in June 1973. [1] [2] He designed PSG's iconic home shirt, known as the "Hechter shirt." [5] Francis Borelli succeeded Hechter in 1978 after the latter had been banned from football for life by the French Football Federation. [6] Hechter was found guilty of operating a ticket-selling scheme at the Parc des Princes. [7] During his 13 years as president, PSG won their first major titles: two French Cups in 1982 and 1983, and the Ligue 1 title in 1986. [1] [2]

Michel Denisot, the club's iconic president of the 1990s, succeeded Borelli. Between 1991 and 1998, PSG won eight trophies, including their second league title in 1994 and their first European trophy, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996. [1] [2] [8] Denisot has since been overshadowed by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the club's most successful president, with 38 trophies won. Under his leadership, the Parisians have won eleven Ligue 1 titles, eight Coupe de France, six Coupe de la Ligue, eleven Trophée des Champions, one UEFA Champions League and one UEFA Super Cup.
