Christopher Galtier has been taken into custody by police as part of an investigation into allegations of discrimination at former club Nice.

The 56-year-old coach, who remains under contract at Parc des Princes for now, has been summoned by the lead investigators in his case.

His son, John Valovic-Galtier, has also been taken into custody – with authorities having 24 hours in which to formalise charges and arrest those concerned, or release them.

The Galtiers arrived at a police station in Nice at 8:45am on Friday.

The allegations against the PSG boss relate to “discrimination based on an alleged race or membership of a religion”.

Galtier is accused of having made discriminatory, racist and Islamophobic remarks during his one-season spell in charge of Nice in 2021-22.
