French publication L’Equipe are reporting that PSG are close to appointing Christophe Galtier, having agreed a compensation package with his club Nice.

This followed a ninth-place finish in 2021, fifth in 2020 and seventh in 2019. Galtier previously coached at Lille – 2017 to 2021 – and Saint-Étienne – 2009 to 2017.
