Sacked by PSG after only a year in the capital, Christophe Galtier could bounce back this summer… at OM. His name came out in the Marseille press.
A native of Marseille, but Paris Saint-Germain coach this season, Christophe Galtier could fulfill his dream this summer by signing… at Olympique de Marseille. The scenario remains quite far-fetched for the moment, however it could well become realistic over the days to come. And for good reason, according to information obtained by La Marseillaise, few names are currently circulating internally to take over from Igor Tudor at OM. The media of the Marseille city looks into this thorny file this Wednesday, and does not neglect any track. Including the craziest one.
Christophe Galtier, an avenue to explore for OM?
Among the names mentioned since the announcement of the departure of Igor Tudor, that of Christophe Galtier had never been mentioned. This is no longer the case. ” Since Tuesday that he is no longer the coach of Paris Saint-Germain, the field seems free for Olympique de Marseille, which could recover it cheaply. However, it remains to be seen whether the profile of the former Olympian defender corresponds to what Pablo Longoria expects, he who particularly likes to choose from among the men he knows inside out. », writes, in the Marseillaise, Camille Kadoum. A track which could therefore be seriously studied by Pablo Longoria, who will undoubtedly base himself more on the experiences of Christophe Galtier in Saint-Etienne and of course in Lille rather than on his contrasting passage at PSG to form an opinion.

To date, the tracks favored by the management of OM nevertheless seem rather to be Marcelo Gallardo, Paulo Fonseca or Vincenzo Italiano. Three credible tracks currently studied by Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta, who are looking for a coach in the continuity of the style of play and the rigor led by Igor Tudor during this 2022-2023 season. With an additional feature, the future coach will have to speak French quickly. An announcement made earlier this week by Pablo Longoria, who did not like that Tudor did not make the effort to speak our language at least at the end of the season. This is at least one criterion that Christophe Galtier ticks perfectly. It remains to be seen whether this track is credible, it is in any case not unanimous among Olympian supporters on social networks.
