The way in which “L’Équipe” handled the different stages of Christophe Galtier’s trial made Pierre Ménès out of his hinges.
After several months of waiting and several days of trial, Christophe Galtier was released. Indicted and tried for alleged acts of harassment and discrimination, the former coach of OGC Nice learned this Friday that the public prosecutor, Damien Martinelli, would not appeal his acquittal pronounced last December 21 by the Nice criminal court. Information necessarily relayed by the media, including The Team. But the sports daily was immediately targeted by Pierre Ménès.
Formerly of the house, the journalist did not hesitate to say what he thought of the way in which the newspaper had treated the Galtier affair. On his social networks, Pierre Ménès posted a concise message on Friday evening. “ Two a full page when he was accused. A lousy top bill when he was released. That’s L’Équipe today. I hope Christophe makes all these accusers pay. »

Galtier takes a step back
For the moment, Christophe Galtier has chosen not to make any comments and to remain discreet on the subject. After confirmation of the absence of an appeal from the prosecutor, the French coach’s lawyers confined themselves to the following comment: “ This decision by the prosecution not to appeal the acquittal definitively closes this case and confirms the slanderous nature of the accusations brought against Christophe Galtier who is definitively rehabilitated. »
