Christophe Galtier on Trial Over Racism Accusations

The former Nice and PSG coach denies allegations of discriminatory comments and psychological harassment, with a ruling expected at a later date.

Christophe Galtier, former coach of Nice and Paris Saint-Germain, stands trial over accusations of racism and psychological harassment during his tenure at Nice.
Allegations surfaced from a leaked email by former Nice director of football Julien Fournier, accusing Galtier of discriminatory comments about the number of Black and Muslim players in the squad.
Galtier denies the accusations, claiming the comments were made to him by others and were reported to Fournier and assistant coach Frédéric Gioria.
Galtier also refutes allegations of using derogatory terms towards Algerian players and dropping a player from his squad due to fasting during Ramadan.
If found guilty, Galtier faces a maximum sentence of three years in jail and a fine of 45,000 euros ($49,000). A ruling will come at a later date.
