As we say on the PSG short list to replace Mauricio Pochettino next season, Christophe Galtier is currently enjoying a sweet pre-summer vacation.

Holidays which must have been a tad wasted for the current Aiglons coach, Friday morning, drinking his coffee and opening the newspaper

L'Equipe

.

In what looks to be mistaken for an interview in the form of a settling of accounts, the director of football of the Gym Julien Fournier delivers a rough testimony with regard to Galtier.

To the question "Do you regret having chosen Christophe Galtier last spring?"

“, he answers:” No, because if I put myself in the context of last year, I take the same decision.

But you never know a person until you've worked with them.

“Aouch.

For Julien Fournier, who is working hard on next season's workforce when it is said about the departure from the Côte d'Azur, the former Lille coach "was less efficient" in Nice than in the North.

The call of the foot (barely veiled) from Fournier to PSG

It's a fact, with such a workforce, and despite an honorable fifth place in Ligue 1, the Aiglons have not won over many people in the game (9th attack in the championship with 52 goals scored).

"We expect him, next season, to perform better, especially in the attacking aspects," warned the director of football.

That's in case Galtier stays.

Because Fournier did not seem necessarily resistant to the idea of ​​seeing his coach respond to the sirens of PSG (well, of Luis Campos, above all).

“Each day that passes makes the task of Paris Saint-Germain more difficult, because we have to move forward for next season.

If they want it, they must not delay.

An internal power struggle

Asked about the criticisms of the 2021 French champion about the Nice winter transfer window which he considered cautious, Fournier defends his work and tackles Galtier.

For him, the native of Marseille is looking for “an excuse”.

"Sometimes to escape a form of reality," he adds.

This team, as it is constituted, could have had better results.

With more attacking momentum, sometimes more courage.

It is his reading of events.

It's a shortcut.

I think he could have performed better too.

If he assures that the two men can still work hand in hand next season, it is hard to believe a single second after such remarks.

Moreover, when our colleague from

L'Equipe

asks him which of the two has the best chance “of still being there in a year”, Fournier replies: “Perhaps both!

Or neither!

".

Everyone will make their own opinion.
