Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Christophe Galtier and his son were arrested on Friday in Nice, France, as part of an investigation into racism and Islamophobia allegations.

The investigation was launched in April after a leaked email from Nice’s former director of football Julien Fournier accused Galtier of making racist and Islamophobic comments while he was coaching the club in the 2021-22 season.

In the email, Fournier claimed that Galtier said there were “too many black and Muslim players” on the team and that he wanted to “profoundly change the team’s make-up and limit the maximum number of Muslims.”

Galtier has denied the allegations, calling them “hurtful” and “false.” He has also filed a defamation suit against Fournier and the journalist who published the claims.

The 56-year-old led PSG to another French league title this season, but the club was eliminated early in the Champions League and the French Cup.

He has one year left on his contract, but PSG has reportedly been holding talks with Luis Enrique to replace him.The arrest of Galtier and his son is a serious development, and it will be interesting to see how the investigation unfolds.

If the allegations are true, it would be a major scandal for PSG and for French football.

Here are some additional details:

* The investigation is being conducted by the public prosecutor’s office in Nice.

* Galtier and his son were detained for questioning on Friday morning.

* They have not been charged with any crime at this time.

* Galtier’s lawyer has said that he will vigorously defend his client against the allegations.

* The investigation is ongoing.
