According to the Paris Public prosecutor, the case has been filed and the two journalists are Daniel Riolo and Romain Molina. “We hope that the Paris public prosecutor acts with the same speed as the Nice prosecutor did so that Christophe Galtier can be finished with this affair as quickly as possible,” Galtier’s lawyer Olivier Martin told AFP.
The former Nice coach has denied making racist and Islamophobic remarks following allegations, which surfaced in an email apparently sent by Fournier. Moreover, the incident was covered by several French media and this is the reason why, Galtier might have filed the defamation case.
Galtier was managing Ligue 1, Nice team last year and Julien Fournier was the sporting director of the team. Both of them left the club after the season, with Galtier joining PSG.
Galtier’s run at PSG is under pressure as the former Ligue 1 winning manager failed at the Champions League. The club still might win the Ligue 1 title, but with the kind of squad they have, anything less than a European trophy seems a failure.

On the other hand, PSG’s management are regularly looking for new options in the market, and with many big names available, PSG might consider reliving Galtier from his duties.
