Christophe Galtier (53), who has coached Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the past, may serve as the coach of the Qatar national team.
French media 'Foot Mercato' reported on the 25th (Korea Standard Time) that "Galtier is in in-depth negotiations with Qatar."
Galtier is a manager who represents the French Ligue 1 team in the 2010s. While leading the prestigious AS Saint-Etienne and LOSC Lille, Galtier secured remarkable results by lifting the trophy twice (League 1, Cup de la League).
In particular, he was appointed as a manager of PSG, which is considered a traditional powerhouse. He led PSG for a year from July 2022 to July 2023, and had an impressive season by winning League 1 and Trope de Champion.
However, Galtier has been mired in allegations of racial discrimination regardless of his grade. He was mired in suspicion that he disparaged African-Americans and Muslims along with his son John Balowicz when he was coach of OGC Nice. Fortunately, the result of the trial was not guilty. However, Galtier had already been dismissed from PSG.
Galtier then went to Al-Duhail SC of Qatar. After moving to Qatar in October 2023, Galtier showed off his tactics to the fullest. In this season's Qatar Stars League, it had 16 wins, two draws and four losses (50 points). It is ranked second after Al Sadd SC (17 wins, one draw and four losses, 52 points).
Such capabilities interested the Qatar national team. Qatar was evaluated as an emerging powerhouse in the Middle East, but under the leadership of Luis Garcia, the Qatar national team was eliminated at the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup with two draws and one loss in Group A.
After all, the Qatar national team has decided to replace Galtier as the next coach after considering Garcia's replacement. As a result, Al-Duhail from his team must have devised a countermeasure. According to media, the team plans to replace Jameel Belmadi as its successor. 바카라
Meanwhile, Galtier has a unique relationship with South Korea, and he has coached South Korean national right-back Kim Moon-hwan in Al Duhail. Kim Moon-hwan played 24 games in Al Duhail for a season and posted two assists, and moved to Hana Citizen in Daejeon last year to continue his career.
