NICE, France — Christophe Galtier has been cleared of accusations of racism after the former Nice and Paris Saint-German coach stood trial on charges of psychological harassment and discrimination. Galtier was acquitted at a court in Nice nearly a week after he appeared at a one-day trial and denied accusations of racism during his time as coach of Nice from 2021-22. His lawyers say the acquittal was "redemption for Christophe." The 57-year-old Galtier had been accused of saying there were too many Black and Muslim players in the Nice squad.
