ESTAC Troyes has announced the resignation of its president, Aymeric Magne, after he was convicted of domestic violence. The club's board of directors made the decision to terminate Magne's contract with immediate effect.

What happened?

Aymeric Magne was found guilty of domestic violence against his wife and was sentenced to three months in prison with a suspended sentence.

The incident occurred in October last year when Magne allegedly assaulted his wife after a night out. Despite his wife not pressing charges, the authorities still pursued the case, leading to Magne's conviction.

Why it matters for ESTAC Troyes

The resignation of Magne has significant implications for the club, which is currently leading Ligue 2 with 67 points from 34 games. The team has a 5-point lead over Le Mans and has scored 60 goals this season, with a goal difference of +27.

What comes next?

Mattijs Manders has been appointed as the new director general of ESTAC Troyes, bringing with him experience from his previous roles at NAC Breda and ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands. Manders will work closely with Sarah Palluel, the deputy director general, and the City Football Group to ensure the club's continued success.
