Besides the insurance business, Mahut was also active in local politics and sports administration. He was elected to the Fontainebleau town council. He assisted its mayor in sports-related affairs for almost a decade, starting from 2005. He was a member of the French Football Federation's National Ethics Council for four years, starting from 2010. Starting from 2012, he was a vice president of the Communauté de communes du Pays de Fontainebleau in charge of sports. From 1995 to 1998, Mahut was the president of Racing Club de Fontainebleau, the first club that he played for in his senior football career. He also served as the honorary president of that club right until his death. Mahut oversaw the initial stages of the 2013-2016 stade de la Faisanderie (Racing Club de Fontainebleau's home stadium) renovation project. In that project, the demolition of the old spectator stands were completed in December 2013 and the renovation works were scheduled to finish three years later. Personal life Mahut married Corinne, who was from Fontainebleau, in 1979. They had two sons, David and Mickey. Tributes "He (Mahut) will be remembered as a great professional on and off the pitch," said French Football Federation president Noël Le Graët. Le Graët also hailed Mahut as an "exemplary" and "talented" player who "unfortunately had gone far too soon".

He was survived by his wife, Corinne, their two sons (David and Mickey) and grandchildren. Mahut's funeral took place at the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Louis in Fontainebleau at 1030am on 13 February 2014. The funeral was attended by 800 persons that comprised his family, friends, members of the Fontainebleau town council (including Frédéric Valletoux, the town's mayor) and dozens of his former football teammates such as Patrick Battiston, Maxime Bossis, Luis Fernandez, Yannick Stopyra and Luc Sonor. He was later buried at that town's cemetery. Notes
