Reports indicate that Paris St-Germain coach, Christophe Galtier, has been detained by authorities for alleged discrimination during his time as the head of Nice.
It is understood that the 56-year-old, who is expected to depart from PSG this summer, served as the head of Nice for 12 months prior to joining Parc des Princes last year.
RMC Sport, a French television channel, reported that Galtier and his adopted son, John Valovic-Galtier, who also acts as his advisor, were placed in police custody at 8:45am on Friday. This action is part of an investigation into purported discrimination during their tenure at Nice.

Reportedly, the father and son were summoned by investigators regarding allegations of racism within the Ligue 1 club.
According to French newspaper L’Equipe, the duo is facing allegations of racism from former Nice sporting director Julien Fournier.
Fournier claimed that Galtier himself made ‘discriminatory, racist, and Islamophobic remarks’ during his tenure at the club. In response, Galtier firmly denied these accusations and filed a complaint.
Several Nice players, coaches, president Jean-Pierre Rivere, and reserve manager Didier Digard have already been questioned by investigators. Allegations suggested that Galtier made comments about having ‘too many black and Muslim players’ in his former team, according to a leaked email published by French football reporter Romain Molina.
Additionally, local French media outlet Nice-Matin reported that Galtier asked Nice’s Muslim players not to observe Ramadan during a five-game winning streak. Some players accepted the request, while others, including Hicham Boudaoui and Jean-Clair Todibo, refused.
Galtier’s lawyer, Olivier Martin, stated in a press release sent to AFP that the PSG coach vehemently denies the claims and was astonished by the insulting and defamatory remarks alleged in Fournier’s email.
Reports indicate that Galtier is set to exit PSG in the coming days, with former Barcelona and Spain manager Luis Enrique in line to succeed him. According to Le Parisien, Enrique is expected to sign a two-year contract, marking a crucial phase in the club’s contemporary history.
