Galtier has arrived in Qatar ahead of being appointed as the new manager later today.

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga is now set to work under former PSG coach Christophe Galtier for Qatari Stars League champions Al Duhail SC.

According to Fabrizio Romano Galtier has arrived in Qatar ahead of being appointed as the new manager. The French football specialist will replace the recently dismissed Hernán Crespo at the helm of the Qatari club.

Romano reports that the deal should be completed on Friday and then an announcement of his appointment should follow. 

Talks to make the former Nice and Lille manager the new boss of the Qatari club entered final stages on Tuesday and Galtier has now traveled to the Middle East ahead of starting his new job. 

Aside from working with Galtier, Olunga is already working with former Liverpool and Barcelona star Philipe Coutinho after the Brazilian joined the club from Aston Villa in September.

 Galtier was approached to become the new manager of Marseille before they appointed Genarro Gatusso but turned down the approach to take charge of PSG’s bitter rivals.
