Paris Saint-Germain Coach Christophe Galtier Detained Over Racism Allegations

  • Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier has been taken into police custody in connection with an investigation into discrimination allegations during his time at OGC Nice.
  • The allegations claim Galtier made racist and Islamophobic remarks about players at Nice and stem from a leaked email from a former Nice executive.
  • Galtier denies the accusations and has filed a defamation lawsuit in response.
  • The investigation and Galtier's subsequent detention threaten to end his short tenure as PSG coach, with reports Luis Enrique may replace him.
  • Galtier's son, John Valovic-Galtier, was also briefly detained as part of the investigation before being released.
