PSG eye Tchel return

PARIS - Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the hierarchy at PSG will soon meet to decide the future of Christophe Galtier and Sporting Advisor Luis Campos with Thomas Tuchel being linked to a return to the Parc des Princes, according to Relevo. The elimination of the French team in the round of 16 of the Champions League has not gone down well with the PSG Board and it is believed that Galtier is living on borrowed time at PSG. His team’s latest European failure adds pressure on Galtier, who also refused to speculate on his future at the club. “We have to swallow it. It is too soon to talk about my future,” Galtier added.
