Arr, the scurvy dogs of Troyes Football Club be cuttin' ties with their president, Aymeric Magne, as swift as a cannonball! The crew made the call in a secret parley on a fine Friday.
In a swashbuckling turn of events, French club Troyes has walked the plank and fired its president, Aymeric Magne. Shiver me timbers! The second-tier club made the announcement after a board meeting that sent Magne's contract to Davy Jones' locker, effective immediately. Avast, me hearties! While Troyes didn't provide any specific reasons for walking the plank, scuttlebutt in the French media suggests that Magne's dismissal stems from his failure to overturn a three-month suspended sentence for domestic violence. Arr, that be a black spot on his record indeed! Not long after walking the plank, Troyes hoisted the Jolly Roger and appointed Mattijs Manders as its general director. Manders, a seasoned buccaneer in the world of Dutch soccer, previously served as the chief executive of NAC Breda and Den Haag, as well as the CEO of the Eredivisie. He be no landlubber, that's for sure! Troyes, a crew that was relegated from the top flight after finishing 19th last season, be lookin' to turn the tide under new leadership. Time will tell if Manders can steer the ship towards calmer waters and restore the club's former glory. Yo ho ho!
