Trouble in Paris as PSG players reportedly gives awkward name to their manager

Some players at Paris Saint-Germain have nicknamed their manager Christophe Galtier 'PE teacher' and do not respect him.

Galitier is under huge pressure after PSG were swept aside by Bayern Munich at the round-of-16 stage, who won 1-0 in Paris before recording a 2-0 victory on home soil to heap huge pressure on Galtier.

And now Sportskeeda reports that the manager is already losing power within the dressing room as the Champions League elimination has only made things worse.

According to journalist Romain Molina, some players have even nicknamed that Frenchman, 'PE teacher'.

The journalist further states the players were unhappy with their manager's decision to leave out experienced attacking midfielder Carlos Soler on the bench against Bayern.
