PSG coach Christophe Galtier "denies with the greatest firmness" to have made discriminatory remarks about players when he officiated in Nice. The French technician, passed from Nice to PSG last summer, "took note with amazement of the insulting and defamatory remarks" reported by the former Nice leader Julien Fournier in an internal letter relayed by several media.

"Legal proceedings" to come, says Olivier Martin, the lawyer for the PSG coach, who says he has been the subject of threats and intolerable acts of harassment.
