Steven Clerima has been a member of France’s Eurovision delegations for the past four years. Ever since then, Amir with “J’ai cherché” has rekindled French interest in the competition. He took over as head of delegation last year after succeeding Edoardo Grassi. He was in fact the Head of Delegation of France to Eurovision 2019 and Junior Eurovision 2018 and 2019.
This change comes at a time when there are reports in the French press about changing the country’s approach to public television in how to opt in, with the most likely scenarios being direct assignment or a small national final with 3 or 4 songs.
