We have known more surprising information. As expected, Christophe Galtier is no longer the coach of Paris Saint-Germain. According The Parisian, football adviser Luis Campos informed the 56-year-old technician of the club’s decision on Tuesday. Galtier will therefore only have lasted one season on the ejection seat installed on the bench at the Parc des Princes, despite a two-year contract.
Even if he had pleaded his case last week, insisting that his team had dominated Ligue 1 from the first to the last day, the former Lille and Nice no longer seemed to have any illusions.
PSG have certainly been crowned champion of France for the 11th time in their history – a record – but they only finished one point ahead of Lens, and they did not shine in the Champions League (elimination in the round of 16 by Bayern Munich), nor in the Coupe de France (exit from the road at the Vélodrome, also in the 8th).
And now Nagelsmann?
Less and less convincing in the game as the months progressed, despite a budget unrivaled in France and a four-star workforce, Paris had a disappointing year. And Galtier, whose name has also been involved in a case that remains to be clarified, against a background of supposed racism in Nice, pays the price. Former Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann seems favorite to succeed him at the head of a reshuffled workforce, after the departures, among others, of Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos.
