PSG have still not reached an agreement with Christophe Galtier to terminate his contract. The recent police custody of the former Saint-Etienne coach could also delay his departure from the capital club.
The situation is complicated for Christophe Galtier. The French technician is currently negotiating his departure from PSG but is still struggling to reach an agreement with the capital club on the amount to be received. To make matters worse, the Ile-de-France coach has been taken into custody in recent hours in the alleged racism case concerning him during his time at OGC Nice. According to some sources, this twist should further delay his departure from PSG. But in this case, Paris could well find its account by lowering its severance pay or by considering a dismissal. But it won’t be that simple according to specialist Laurent Fellous.

On the antennaRMCthe lawyer specializing in sports law has indeed indicated on the subject: “There are several points to consider. By the mere fact of police custody, they cannot automatically sanction Christophe Galtier since this measure is not related to his work. Its very important. On the possibility of a sanction, I think that before that an agreement will be reached. But for the dismissal, it is more complex. The employer can dismiss when a conviction will cause a disturbance to the operation of the company. In view of the financial and media stakes, this will be an argument for negotiating a lower severance pay. They will base themselves on this and it seems the most appropriate solution », indicated in particular Laurent Fellous, who thinks that Christophe Galtier, who will be tried next December for moral harassment and discrimination on the grounds of belonging or not belonging, true or supposed, to an ethnic group, a nation, or an alleged determined race or religion, will ultimately not risk much criminally, given the complexity of proving the facts of which he is accused. Case to follow.
