Toulouse FC is actively seeking a new head coach, and among the emerging candidates, Jordan Galtier, son of former Lille OSC manager Christophe Galtier, stands out as a serious option. This potential internal promotion follows the confirmed impending departure of Carles Martínez Novell.

The Toulouse club is in the market for a new leader after confirming the impending exit of Carles Martínez Novell earlier this week. Olivier Pantaloni, who will leave FC Lorient at the end of the season, initially emerged as a frontrunner. However, Toulouse has not submitted an offer for Pantaloni, who is also attracting interest from other clubs, including FC Nantes, despite Les Canaris being on the brink of relegation to Ligue 2.

As the search continues, other candidates for the role are now emerging. AJ Auxerre's Christophe Pélissier is described by L'Équipe as a credible candidate for the position. Nevertheless, the option of an internal promotion with Jordan Galtier remains a strong and intriguing possibility for the club.

Jordan Galtier currently serves as an assistant manager at Toulouse FC. His promotion would follow in the footsteps of Carles Martínez Novell, who was himself promoted from the same role. His father, Christophe Galtier, is a well-known figure in French football, having notably managed Lille OSC and Paris Saint-Germain with significant success.

The prospect of Jordan Galtier taking the reins at Toulouse FC represents potential continuity for the team, while also bringing a name familiar to French football observers, particularly those who followed his father's tenure at Lille OSC. The final decision regarding the next manager is anticipated soon.
