Christophe Galtier is on the hot seat, both at his job and with the law. The under-suspected manager of PSG and his son were taken into custody on Friday after allegations of well over a year that the duo made anti-Muslim comments while managing Nice.

Galtier stated that he was “stunned” by the accusations and he and his son would take legal action against the charges.

To make matters worse the manager was not able to maximize the potential of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappé. Since then, it would seem that Kylian Mbappé and Neymar have committed their future at PSG at least until next season, but Lionel Messi is all but confirmed to move to Inter Miami of MLS.
