Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier is at the centre of controversy after being accused of having a racist attitude when he was coach at Nice back in 2021.
Former Nice director of football Julien Fournier has claimed that Galtier made some alleged racist and discriminatory remarks during his spell at the Ligue 1 side.
The incident has been reported by journalist Romain Molina and RMC Sport and, according to their information, the comments have been reported via an email.
Fournier reportedly sent an email to the company that owns Nice, INEOS, in which he reported Galtier's comments at the end of last season.
"Christophe Galtier then came into my office and greeted his son, who said 'you can check with my father what I told you'," read the email.
"Once his agent/son left, I told Galtier about the conversation I had just had with him and asked him if it was true.
"He replied that it was and that he had to take into account the existing reality in the city, and that indeed we could not have so many blacks and Muslims within the team.
"He said he went to a restaurant and everyone was saying that the team was full of blacks."
Galtier had reportedly told the former Nice director of football that he "should realize that the team did not correspond to the city or to what people were asking for".
According to Molina and the radio show 'After-Foot', Fournier referred to a meeting with John Valovic-Galtier, Galtier's adopted son, who claimed that his father's situation was "untenable" because of the results of the squad.
"I asked him what was going on and he explained that this team wasn't like him, that we couldn't go on like this," Fournier added.
"I asked him to explain to me in what he was saying to understand it better and he told me 'you have built a team of scum'.
"I asked him to be more precise and he added 'There are only blacks and half of your team is in the mosque on Friday afternoons'.
"I told Mr. John Valovic-Galtier that I was outraged by his comments and asked him to leave my office immediately."
Back in September, Fournier refused to reveal the real reasons why his relationship with Galtier deteriorated at Nice at the time.
"If I explain the real reasons why we fell out, because that's really the word, Christophe Galtier will never enter a dressing room again, neither in France nor in Europe," Fournier noted.
