Christophe Galtier will leave his position as coach of Paris Saint-Germain after agreeing a severance package with the French champions, a source close to the negotiations told AFP on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Galtier, who had a year remaining on his contract, is widely expected to be replaced on the PSG bench by former Barcelona and Spain coach Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n

The club have called a press conference at their training ground for later on Wednesday when the new coach is set to be unveiled.<\/p>\n

News of Galtier’s departure from the Qatar-owned club had been expected ever since the end of the last Ligue 1 season at the start of June.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old former Saint-Etienne, Lille and Nice coach was appointed a year ago and led PSG to a French record 11th title.<\/p>\n

However, they finished just a point ahead of runners-up Lens after losing seven games after the turn of the year.<\/p>\n

Their league success was also overshadowed by a disappointing exit from the Champions League in the last 16 to Bayern Munich. PSG also went out of the French Cup at the same stage to Marseille.<\/p>\n

In addition, the final weeks of Galtier’s reign were marred by accusations that he made racist remarks about players during his previous job at Nice.<\/p>\n

He has vehemently denied the accusations but will stand trial in December on charges of “moral harassment and discrimination on the grounds of actual or supposed membership or non-membership of a particular ethnic group, nation, alleged race or religion”, according to prosecutors in Nice.<\/p>\n

The offences are punishable by three years’ imprisonment and a 45,000-euro ($49,000) fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
