In a long interview with
L'Equipe
, Christophe Galtier discusses, among other subjects, his future.
The Lille coach refutes the idea that he covets the place of André Villas-Boas, as the latter has recently implied.
“He's wrong (…) After that my name is associated with the club… There are two parameters.
One, I am from Marseille, my family lives in Marseille, I was trained at the club, I was a player at the club ... And, secondly, my career for years can make people think that I can coach the OM.
But for me, it's not an objective in itself to train Marseille.
Obviously, when you were born in Marseille, when you were trained there ... But like him with Porto, like others with Paris or Lyon, ”explains Galtier who assures that he never spoke to Marseille President Jacques-Henri Eyraud, nor with Lyon.
“I only spent one year at OL (assistant coach in 2007-2008) and it's a frustration, but I had to leave when Alain (Perrin) left.
I have kept good relations in Lyon, Mr. Aulas knows that I am an honest and upright man.
He created a bond between him, his friends and me, but there was no contact, ”he explains.
