PSG coach Christophe Galtier and his son have been detained. They also stand to face three years in prison due to allegations of discrimination at former club Nice.
The 56-year-old coach has been summoned by the lead investigators in his case. His son, John Valovic-Galtier, was taken into custody.
Galtier is accused of having made discriminatory, racist and Islamophobic remarks. He allegedly made these remarks during his one-season spell in charge of Nice in 2021-22. The offences are punishable by three years imprisonment and a 45,000-euro (49,000-dollar) fine.
In a statement released by his lawyer to French media, Galtier said he was-
“stunned to learn of the insulting and defamatory” report and said he would take unspecified legal actions.
Galtier is now waiting to discover if any further action will be taken, while PSG are working on the early termination of his contract.
