With six points ahead of its Lensois runner-up two days from the end, Paris Saint-Germain nine fingers and two knuckles on Hexagoal, the trophy with dubious aesthetics which rewards the champion of France. The title could be formalized as soon as the trip to Strasbourg on Saturday evening, but the club is not going to release the party favors and mother-in-law’s tongues. Especially not Christophe Galtier, more than ever on an ejection seat after a very average season by Parisian standards.
This Friday at a press conference, the future ex-technician of PSG, in office for less than a year and under contract until June 2024, played it stoic in front of his probable replacement. “On the fact that there are names circulating, it’s part of my job, of football, he reacted. It’s like that. It doesn’t bother me at all. There is what you write, the journalists, and what I live on a daily basis. »
“We haven’t talked about next season”
José Mourinho, Thiago Motta, Luis Enrique or Xabi Alonso are among the list of successors whose names have come out in recent days. But Galtier claims to have had no information from its leaders.
“I am in permanent contact with Luis [Campos, le conseiller football], every day when he is there, and he is there very often. When he is not there, we communicate very often by telephone. I see my president very often [Nasser Al-Khelaïfi] either before the matches or after the matches. We haven’t talked about next season. This is not necessarily a good sign.
