He coached Messi and Mbappé at PSG and failed, now he's behind bars and shocks

The still coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Christophe Galtier, is in police custody this Friday along with his son, within an investigation for racism and discrimination when he trained Nice, said the prosecutor of that city, Xavier Bonhomme. Which could complicate his career.

The case refers to the leak of an alleged email from the then sports director of Nice Julien Fournier in which he denounced Galtier's alleged racist attitude as the team's coach in the 2021-2022 season. Comments by Galtier were referenced in the emails revealed by Fournier.

These comments were about some black players on the team, something the coach denied on numerous occasions. Several of those affected were or will be questioned in the coming days about an investigation that may have an impact on the career of the coach who, at the helm of PSG, has not achieved the goals set by the club's Qatari owner.

The coach's defense at a press conference

On April 13, the Nice Judicial Police began a preliminary investigation on grounds of discrimination based on race or religion, and the coach denied the accusations. “I am deeply shocked by the claims attributed to me and that have been irresponsibly disclosed,” Galtier said at a press conference last April.
