It’s a new saga around Paris Saint-Germain which should end shortly if we believe the latest information. While the Parisian supporters have all been hoping for the arrival of Zinedine Zidane for several months now, it seems that the big favorite for the position is named Christophe Galtier. If he does not benefit from the aura of the world champion, the latter is a reference in the French championship after winning the title last year with Lille. Leaving for Nice this year, the native of Marseille should become the next coach of the capital club and faced with the pressure he will suffer, he can count on the presence of his relatives and in particular his wife.
If he has been able to remain discreet about his private life throughout his career, the father of three boys granted an interview to SoFoot at the end of 2020 and he evokes his personality and his strong character. So in Lille at the time, he put a lot of pressure on himself and sometimes collapsed mentally, which was not easy for his wife. “In my first six months here, I have broken TVs. My wife sometimes picked me up in pieces, in crumbs. I felt unable to win a game”he confessed at the time.
He does not forget to thank his wife for her daily importance
If the beginnings were rather complicated for Christophe Galtier, the story ended in apotheosis with the title of champion of France in 2021. Before that, he had already had very good seasons at LOSC, he who arrived there in 2017. He was notably elected best coach of the year in 2019, the opportunity for him to have a thought for his wife, very important in his life. “We have our heads in the handlebars. We think about football, we think about players who are the age of our children. The wives have to manage the daily life, and if the wife does not manage the daily life well, we are not well in our head. And if I performed well through my team, through my club – I performed well – it’s becauseshe knew how to manage the day-to-daydid he declare.
As he prepares to lead the Parisian stars, from Messi to Neymar via Mbappé, Christophe Galtier knows he can count on his wife, who occupies a prominent place in his life.
