His name was whispered in Lyon, he would have refused to take over OM… To finally be expected in Qatar. Christophe Galtier, fired from Paris SG last summer after a single season and a French championship title, should sign up very quickly with the Al Duhail SC club. According to RMC, he would be expected on site in the coming hours. The French technician would replace Hernan Crespo, who was sacked and would sign a two-year contract.
If the former coach of Nice or even Lille and Saint-Étienne was not unworthy at Paris SG, he paid for his lack of results in the Champions League with an elimination in the round of 16 of the C1, but also his little influence in the management of stars. It’s also difficult to coach such an unbalanced team with Mbappé, Messi and Neymar in particular, not necessarily very inclined to defend.
But Galtier, who would have asked for time from OM to return to Ligue 1, will surprise by signing for Qatar. The prospect of his trial following accusations of racism when he officiated in Nice and the desire to get away from France for a while may also have come into play. Certainly, it is not for the sporting project that the Marseillais will give a new twist to his career.
