Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier is at the receiving end of racism and islamophobia accusations, after an alleged email from Nice’s former Director of Football Julien Fournier leaked, in which Galtier told him that the team “could not have so many blacks and Muslims.”
According to RMC’s After Foot, the email was sent by Fournier to INEOS director Dave Brailsford and recounts a conversation with Galtier from his time as Nice’s manager.
“The past season has been incredibly trying for me because I had to ‘tolerate’ (without ever accepting) completely unacceptable, intolerable events, attitudes and comments that are contrary to my values, from the coach,” the alleged email read.
The email goes on to describe an alleged conversation between Fournier and Galtier’s son and agent, who allegedly told him that the team “doesn’t reflect him.”
Galtier also allegedly complained about fasting players, despite being shown fitness data, broken down player by player, which showed that Ramadan had no effect on their physical levels, Get French Football News reported.
