Christophe Gatlier towards OM? The former coach of Paris Saint Germain, dismissed last June, was contacted by Marseille Olympic who is looking for a replacement for Marcelino, who left in the middle of last week. According to RMC Sport, the Olympian club offered him the position of coach in recent days. OM had already canvassed him in June to take over from Igor Tudor, but the native of Marseillais had asked his agents not to follow through after trying months in Paris.
This time, both the club and the coach are questioning the timing of Christophe Galtier’s arrival in Marseille, while OM is in conflict with some of its supporter groups. The accusations of racism made by the former Nice leader Julien Fournier towards Galtier, indicted in this case, when he was in Nice also seem to weigh in the balance. Both parties wonder if a return of Galtier to his favorite club would be accepted by the supporters.
