Lille (France) (AFP) – Relegation-haunted Lille named former Saint-Etienne boss Christophe Galtier on Friday to replace the sacked Marcelo Bielsa.
The 51-year-old Galtier, who left Saint-Etienne at the end of last season, returns to the club where he played as a defender from 1987-1990.
Lille said in a statement that “they have reached an agreement in principle which will be finalised before the team returns to training on December 29”.
Lille are third from bottom of the Ligue 1 table.
