Nice sack Lucien Favre

MADRID, 9 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The OGC Nice has dismissed the Swiss Lucien Favre as coach of the first team this Monday due to the poor results of the team, and Didier Digard will act as interim coach of the French team.

The Côte d’Azur team has only added one point in two games in Ligue 1 after the World Cup break and has been surprisingly eliminated in the Cup at the home of third division CO Le Puy, which has caused the reaction of the directive. The club of British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and his company Ineos is currently eleventh in Ligue 1.

Favre, 65, who had already managed Nice between 2016 and 2018, returned to the club in the summer of 2022, after turning down an offer from his then club, Borussia Mönchengladbach. Previously, he managed Hertha BSC, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
