French captain involved in an alleged case of racism while coaching Nice
the coach of PSGChristophe Galtier, is involved in a scandal after the accusations of racism made by a former Nice coach, Julien Fournier. The case would have occurred in 2021, again when Galtier moved to the French club on the Côte d’Azur. According to Fournier’s complaints, the commander repeatedly complained that his team had a lot of black and Muslim players.
The local newspaper “Nice-Matin” released more controversial information about the case on Thursday. When Galtier arrived at Nice, he opposed the signing of Muslim players, such as Dutchman Pablo Rosario, who was placed on the bench by Fournier. Furthermore, during Ramadan – a tradition of the Muslim religion – the coach was against fasting for players, which caused him to miss the dressing room during his visit.
Jean-Clair Todibo, Hicham Boudaoui and Amine Gouiri were the players who had impasse and discussions with the coach due to the imposition. “If you don’t eat, you don’t play,” Galtier told athletes, claiming an influence of fasting on player performance and that, in this way, the team would not win games. In the 21-22 season, Nice finished the first round as runners-up to France.
Fournier’s first choice for the lead was Dutchman Erik ten Hag, today in Manchester United, but the parties have not reached an agreement. With Galtier, just two months of work were enough for the manager to see the hiring of the current PSG coach as a mistake. The relationship between the two was completely strained and the manager sought out the club owners to ask for Fournier’s resignation, which would happen quickly. But Julien’s revenge was guarded and exploded in the form of a polemic against Galtier.
According to the newspaper “Le Parisien”, the defendant has written evidence that contradicts Fournier’s version, and could divulge it at any time. For now Galtier has guaranteed permanence in the Parisian club, but everything can change. PSG claims to be active in the fight against racism and wants to wait for the final results of the controversy to discuss the continuity of the work.
