3DMAX Faces Over €1.5 Million Debt: Former Coach YouKnow Talks About Eight Months Without Pay

The French organization 3DMAX found itself at the center of a serious financial scandal. Following a failed deal with the French blogger CYRILmp4, significant debts of the club to players, coaches, and other employees have come to light. Preliminary data suggests that the debt exceeds €1.5 million.

Amidst this information, former head coach of 3DMAX , Julien "YouKnow" Dusso, publicly shared his experience working with the organization for the first time. According to him, the club never paid his salary on time.

YouKnow spent a year and a half at 3DMAX

YouKnow worked at 3DMAX for about a year and a half. Initially, he was an assistant coach, and then he served as head coach for eight months. He left the organization on March 1, 2026.

Previously, the coach had not publicly discussed the club's financial problems.

I have never publicly spoken about my time at 3DMAX . I'm doing it just this once and without any controversy.

According to YouKnow, payment issues persisted throughout his tenure.

"My eight months as head coach went unpaid"

YouKnow explained that he technically received money. However, each payment covered an overdue month rather than the current salary.

Yes, I received money for that period. But each payment went to cover an already overdue month, never the current one.

As a result, the total debt to the coach never really decreased.

So the debt never decreased; it was merely postponed. In the end, it seems like my eight months as head coach went unpaid.

Despite this, YouKnow continued to work with the team.
