"It starts with small bubbles of aggression that burst": how Jean-Marc Furlan's wife discovered her husband's neurodegenerative disease

Jean-Marc Furlan, 68, suffers from a neurodegenerative disease; his wife discovered early symptoms during his time as Trans manager.

Cécile Traverse Furlan, wife of former Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 manager Jean-Marc Furlan, revealed on RMC's Rothen s'enflamme that her husband, 68, is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease. She first noticed unusual aggression and behavioral changes during his tenure at Auxerre (2019–2022), initially mistaken for his known temperament. She disclosed the illness in her book "Jean-Marc Furlan, le don d'une vie," published in early October, and continues to support him as the condition progresses, affecting his memory and speech.
