Beyond the results, the low quality of the game offered did not help, any more than extra-sporting matters (accusations of racism in Nice, hasty announcement of Lionel Messi’s departure…). Galtier had been taken in dislike by the public of the Parc des Princes, who copiously whistled him at the end of the season and in particular during the presentation of the Ligue 1 title, last Saturday.
According to L’Équipe, German coach Julian Nagelsmann (35) is expected by Wednesday in Paris to succeed Galtier. Qatar would have put its name at the top of its list. The name of Thierry Henry is still under consideration for the post of assistant. Nagelsmann has been free since his ousting from Bayern Munich last March, a few days after eliminating … PSG in the Champions League.
