PSG coach Christophe Galtier “contests with the greatest firmness” having made discriminatory remarks when he was in Nice

Current Paris SG coach Christophe Galtier “contest with the greatest firmness” having made discriminatory remarks towards players when he officiated in Nice, according to his lawyer, who speaks in a press release sent to AFP on Wednesday April 12. Olivier Martin also announced “legal proceedings” coming. The French coach, who moved from Nice to PSG in the summer of 2022, “learned with amazement of the insulting and defamatory remarks” reported by the former Nice leader Julien Fournier, in an internal letter relayed Tuesday by several media, said Olivier Martin.

The lawyer refers to an email consulted by RMC, which the journalists of the radio program “L’After foot”, claim to have authenticated, but to which franceinfo did not have access. Thus, Christophe Galtier notably declared to his sports director at the time, Julien Fournier, that he “couldn’t have so many blacks and muslims in the team”. Upon learning of the revelation of this email, Julien Fournier told Nice morning not be the source of this leak. “I have never fired on an ambulance, despite all our differences with Christophe Galtier and above all I have too much respect for OGC Nice”he reacted, saying to himself “currently in Brazil far from this controversy”.
