Contrary to the US, when a president isn't president anymore we stop calling him "President" -- it's not a honorary title for life

Sure. Président is a common name for a group leader, and it's the French equivalent of CEO. So there are many possible French presidents.

"Renault sues French ex-President" would probably refer to Ghosn, not Hollande or Sarkozy.
