The football world was plunged into controversy recently when Christophe Galtier, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, was summoned to stand trial in December. The charges stem from allegations of discrimination and harassment during his tenure at his former club, Nice, during the 2021-22 season.
Following a thorough investigation, Galtier and his son, John Valovic-Galtier, found themselves in custody for questioning in connection with the alleged incidents. Although his son was subsequently released without charge, Galtier was referred to the public prosecutor’s office. The trial is set to take place on 15 December in Nice, where Galtier will face charges of psychological harassment and discrimination.
The allegations against Galtier have rattled the footballing world, shining a spotlight on the important issue of racism and mistreatment within the sport. While specific details of the charges have not been explicitly revealed, it is clear that they pertain to incidents that unfolded during Galtier’s time as the head coach at Nice.
