“No matter what happens in today’s match. With the league title already secured, PSG are expected to fire Christophe Galtier by the end of the day,” a Twitter user said.
“They will be foolish to sack their manager for a loser who burns down every building he goes into and is not even winning, nowadays. The best he’ll achieve is what Christophe Galtier has done,” a second one added.
Galtier, who led Lille from 2021 to 2022, signed a two-year deal with Paris Saint Germain in July. However, French publication L’Equipe reported that he will be sacked. The 56-year-old succeeded Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino has now joined the Premier League club, Chelsea.
L’Equipe reported that firing Galtier has been finalized by PSG owner Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani. The club failed to go beyond the last 16 stage at the Champions League. The manager enjoyed a bright start in Paris.
The French giants have already clinched the Ligue 1 title.
