After several weeks of speculation, Christophe Galtier has signed as coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for the next two seasons, according to what several French media reported on Monday.
The club Qatari-owned Parisian will officially present his new coach at a press conference that will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, at his stadium in the Parc des Princes in the French capital.
Galtier, of 55 years old, he arrives from Nice, to whom PSG paid an unspecified amount (but which could amount to several million euros) to release him from the last season of his contract.
He was previously at Lille, where he won the league 2020/21 ahead of the powerful PSG, in a season in which they managed to impose team play on the cast of glittering Parisian stars.
Galtier succeeds the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who spent less than a year and a half on the Parisian bench.
Arrived at a PSG looking for a brilliant game like the one he had developed at English side Tottenham, the Argentine did not achieve his goal and although he won the league without problems 2021/22, his failures in the Champions League, especially this season’s disaster at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid, ended up condemning him.
PSG and Pochettino closed the last week an economic agreement for the dismissal of the coach and his team, who had one season left on their contract, for an amount of about $10 million dollars.
