Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: Laurent Hess’s edit on the ghost Wahbi Khazri
Having left ASSE in 2017, Christophe Galtier only remained on good terms with one of his two former presidents, Bernard Caïazzo. The least we can say is that the divorce with Roland Romeyer was very complicated. As Bernard Lions reports in his book “Behind the Green Door”, it is the amicable settlement of this departure that has left its mark.
Roland Romeyer did not want to give Christophe Galtier one euro at the time of the termination of his last year of contract, it was Bernard Caïazzo and Dominique Rocheteau who had sealed the agreement, offering the Marseillais to leave with half of the sums due ( € 750,000) via three payments between his departure, September-October 2017 and January 2018. At the time, Christophe Galtier – who had defended himself from being “a man of money” – suggests that he will not recover not all deadlines if he finds a club quickly.

This is of course a fake. But the new Lille coach does not let it go, ”writes Bernard Lions.
There followed a heated exchange between Galtier and Romeyer: “I never said that I would give up the 3rd installment if I found a club before January 1. I said if I found a club quickly, I would know what to do with the third deadline. I told Bernard and in the presence of Dominique. There must be some misunderstanding of the word “quickly”. I spent more than 6 months without a club, ”said the Dogues coach. “I won’t pay you, you hear? Did you understand what I’m telling you? », Continued annoyed Romeyer. Galtier’s response: “I could have given it to you as a gift. But with what you’ve said about me since I left, it doesn’t matter. ” “You are a bag of m …! A heart hole …! Romeyer concludes before hanging up. It is finally Bernard Caïazzo who will unlock the last deadline in February 2018.
