Christophe Galtier, Paris Saint Germain’s manager is being questioned after being taken into custody for his alleged discrimination during the former’s time at Nice.
According to the complaint, his son’s John Valovic-Galtier is also involved. Galtier made racist and Islamophobic remarks about players when he coached Nice in the 2021-22 season. In April, an investigation was done on this issue.
With PSG suffering 10 defeats in 2023 and exiting the Champions League, Galtier is set to be sacked by the Qatari owners. Though still under contract at PSG, Galtier denied accusations about making racist and anti-Muslim comments.
Earlier, reports were published about Galtier saying there were too many Black and Muslim players in the squad quoting a leaked email from former Nice director of football Julien Fournier to the club’s owners.
According to sources, Galtier in a statement said that he was “stunned to learn of the insulting and defamatory” report. He even said that he would take unspecified legal actions.
