A few months after his dismissal from PSG, Christophe Galtier could already bounce back and find a new club. The 57-year-old coach would not be far from signing for the Qatari club Al-Duhail. The former coach of Lille, Nice or even Saint-Étienne was quick to find a new club, even if this choice is widely contested by Jérôme Rothen.
The start of the season Christophe Galtier with PSG was idyllic: a star squad, an impressive start to the league (17 goals in three games)… Everything seemed to be off to a good start for the French coach to take PSG to this milestone. Except that over time, all this crumbled, between the controversies, the cases of discrimination and racism and the bad results, the former coach of the AXIS ended up being removed from his post. But he could find a club sooner than expected. According to the latest information, Galtier is leaving for Qatar and the benchAl-Duhail.
“Today, making this choice is a choice to bury yourself in”
In the program broadcast on RMC, Rothen ignites, Jerome Rothen, former midfielder PSG, do not understand the choice of Galtier to go train at Qatar “What do I blame Galtier for? This exotic league pick. Saudi Arabia has attracted big names, big coaches. It could have happened to Galtier and it was difficult to financially refuse the offer and the Saudi sirens. What is certain is that the level of the Qatar championship will not increase. On the other hand financially, the soup is good. But is Galtier’s choice to go there, which is a purely financial choice, useful for him today? It’s hard to say no to millions, but he took millions with his departure from PSG. I think he was well off also in Nice and Lille. He is 57 years old. Today, making this choice is a choice to bury oneself. So not financially, but sportingly.

“A big club abroad, it would have been capable of it”
“It’s hard to bounce back with a team after training in Qatar, especially with a team that isn’t the best in Qatar,” he adds. At 57, he has not finished his coaching career, reassure me. A big club abroad, he would have been able to. It didn’t happen now, but maybe it would have happened in a few weeks after bad results. There is always the opportunity to bounce back very quickly. For all that, I think it’s a very bad choice. I don’t understand. There, he will disappear from the radar and we will stick the mercenary label on him. I’m very disappointed, I didn’t see it like that. It didn’t become crap overnight to bounce back with a team in Europe. »
