Blayau worked extensively in French football, first with AS Nancy and, later, with his hometown team Stade Rennais F.C., of which he was the president from 1998 to 2000.[1] He was also treasurer of the Ligue de Football Professionnel from 2003 to 2005,[1] and part of the organising group for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.[4] On 2 May 2005, he was named president of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. by its owners, Canal+, in place of Francis Graille.[2] He lasted just under a year in the job, as the sale of the club to Colony Capital led to his replacement by Alain Cayzac.[5]
