Who is Christophe Galtier?
Christophe Galtier, a French professional football coach and former player, was born on August 23, 1966, and is currently 56 years old. He now serves as the head coach of the Ligue 1 team Paris Saint-Germain.
Why did PSG sign Christophe Galtier?
Following the team’s 3-1 (3-2 ag) elimination from the hands of Real Madrid from the Champions League in Round of 16’s 2nd leg, Mauricio Pochettino was sacked and Galtier was brought.
PSG will be hoping that Galtier will be able to provide the team with more efficiency and balance so that they can finally realise their dream of Champions League success.

Galtier has won two trophies in his managerial career, the first of which was the Coupe de la Ligue with Saint-Etienne in 2012–2013.
