Christophe Galtier, the Head Coach of Paris St. Germain, Denies Making Racist Remarks at Nice
Posted : 18 April 2023
Galtier allegedly complained that the team had too many black and Muslim players in a leaked email to Nice's owners.
Galtier, 56, was Nice's manager during the 2021–22 campaign.
A preliminary inquiry into discrimination based on claimed ethnicity or religion has been opened by the Nice prosecutor's office.
"I have decided to take legal action against those who have violated my honour and I can only be satisfied with the opening of an investigation," said Frenchman Galtier.
"I was stunned by the comments that were attributed to me and that were relayed in an irresponsible manner.
"I am a child of the HLM estates (subsidised housing estates), raised in diversity, raised to respect others no matter their origin, their colour or their religion."
PSG said the club supports Galtier and "wishes that the judicial system will shine a light on the truth on the serious allegations against our coach".
On Saturday, the league's top team, PSG, will play Lens at Parc des Princes.
