The former PSG manager agrees on a two-year deal with Al Duhail following the sacking of Hernan Crespo
Michael Olunga's Al Duhail has announced the arrival of ex-Paris Saint-Germain gaffer Christophe Galtier. The former Lille and Nice manager has signed a two-year deal with the Qatari club.
Galtier left Parc des Princes in July after another Ligue 1 title, which served as a mild consolation for the Champions League Round of 16 exit.

However, he was also mired in off-the-pitch issues. Galtier remains under investigation for alleged racist remarks pertaining to his time as Nice manager the previous season. The accusations were revealed in a leaked email from former colleague Julien Fournier, who also left the club in 2022. Al Duhail's new coach has repeatedly denied those accusations.
His predecessor in the Al Duhail dugout has been sacked after a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Persepolis in the AFC Champions League.
