ex-Nice coach Christophe Galtier acquitted following his trial for discrimination and harassment against Muslim players

Prosecuted for discrimination and harassment, mainly against Muslim players, Christophe Galtier, the former Nice coach, was acquitted on Thursday, December 21, at the end of his trial. “Neither of the two offenses is characterized”specified the Nice criminal court, in pronouncing its judgment.

The former coach of PSG and OGC Nice was tried by the Nice Criminal Court for acts of discrimination and moral harassment when he was coach of the Aiglons. The affair broke out in April with the revelation by journalists of an inflammatory email from May 2022 from Julien Fournier, then general director of the club, with whom Galtier had execrable relations.
