Officially kicked out on Wednesday by PSG, Christophe Galtier could dive back into the deep end very quickly. The technician is in the sights of the Saudi formation of Al Shabab.
A failure at PSG and everything starts again instantly. The theory was checked recently with Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino. They were quick to find a club and everyone was spoiled: Arsenal for Emery, Chelsea for Tuchel then for Pochettino. Christophe Galtier could imitate them but in the rising championship, the Saudi Pro League. Dismissed a year after his arrival in Paris, the former Lille and Nice coach could have waited a long time before finding a bench. Tired by a very turbulent year in the media at PSG, he lost some of his aura and his rating by failing to bring the egos of the Parisian locker room into line.
Galtier very close to Al Shabab
In the end, it is nothing. On the contrary, since Saudi Arabia is making eyes at him. The Al Shabab club wants to put him on the bench and, according to Foot Mercato, we are going for it. Negotiations are advanced between the two parties. They have naturally intensified since Christophe Galtier was released from his contract at PSG. Despite rumors about a possible sabbatical year, Galtier wants to start a new adventure at Al Shabab.

It must be said that given the investment of Saudi clubs since the beginning of the summer, it would be wrong to deprive themselves. In addition, Al Shabab is one of the best teams in the Kingdom, having finished fourth in the last championship. He would find well-known names in European football like Ever Banega (ex-Sevilla) and former Parisian Grzegorz Krychowiak. If a financial agreement is quickly found, Christophe Galtier could land in Saudi Arabia next week. Enough to show that his time at PSG gave him a whole new notoriety outside the French borders.
