Galtier (PSG) accused of racism. «I don’t want blacks in the team»- Corriere.it

Paris Saint Germain is again overwhelmed by a fuss. This time the players are not involved, the media storm is not centered around the coach Christophe Galtier. Who risks having to leave his post due to a heavy accusation of racism against black and Muslim players. The facts date back to when Galtier sat on the Nice bench in the 2021-22 season, and the French club has opened an internal investigation. It all starts with an email made public by Rmc Sport. Mail written by the general manager of the transalpine club, Julien Fournier, addressed to the management of Nice: «He came to my office and told me that I had to take into account the reality of the city – reads the alleged email -. He told me we shouldn’t have so many black and Muslim players on the team. He told me that he had gone to the restaurant and that many had pointed out to him that Nice is “a team of blacks”.

PSG fans: we want clarity

There were no sporting arguments, only religious or related to skin color. Last year Fournier himself on Galtier’s farewell to Nice had expressed himself thus: «If I explain the real reasons why we fought each other, because this is the real word, Galtier will never go back to a locker room either in France or in Europe”. But he did not reveal the reasons. The PSG fans asked for clarity and “if Fournier’s accusations were verified, Galtier’s exemption”.
