Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Christopher Galtier has quickly returned to management, leading Qatari team Al Duhail three months after parting ways with the French champions.

Galtier, who secured the Ligue 1 title with PSG, left the club following a challenging second half of the season. The closing stages of his tenure were overshadowed by accusations of racism related to his previous position at Nice. Despite vehemently denying these allegations, he is scheduled to stand trial in December.

Al Duhail welcomes Galtier, who will take charge of a squad that includes former Liverpool and Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho. He steps into the role left vacant by Hernan Crespo; the ex-Argentina international who guided Al Duhail to a league victory last season.

Galtier's new challenge includes leading Al Duhail against Al Nassr, a team featuring stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, in the Asian Champions League group stage, set to kick off later this month. Al Duhail currently holds one point from two matches in the competition.
