Franck Haise is no longer the coach of OGC Nice. The identity of his successor on the bench would already be known.
This time, it’s well and truly over. If he had proposed his resignation to the leaders of OGC Nice the day after the deplorable episode of the return from Lorient (several players and the sports director Florian Maurice were then attacked at the entrance to the Gym training center on November 30), Franck Haise this time was not retained by the Riviera staff. A management freshly embodied by Jean-Pierre Rivère – Maurice Cohen since the recent departure of Fabrice Bocquet.
“ According to our information, Franck Haise is no longer the coach of Nice. A year and a half after his arrival from Lens, the technician left his position, by mutual agreement with his managers », relays this Sunday the sports daily L’Equipe. Qualification for the 16e of the Coupe de France final obtained last weekend at the expense of Saint-Etienne will therefore not have been enough to put the pieces back together.
Claude Puel on the bench
Before this happy ending (2-1 victory over the Greens), the Aiglons remained on a traumatic series of nine defeats in all competitions. And even 19 matches without the least success – a sad national record stolen from Lille who had stopped in their time at 17 vain outings.
Today 13e
of Ligue 1 and already ousted from the European scene, the OGCN is far, far from its objectives displayed at the start of the year, in line with a 2024-2025 season finished in fourth place in the French elite. Franck Haise thus leaves his place to Claude Puel, who already played for the red and black club between 2012 and 2016.
“ The coach, who has not worked since his departure from Saint-Etienne in December 2021, is expected at the head of the Gym for the resumption of training on Mondayreports L’Equipe.
The 64-year-old technician will be accompanied by Julien Sablé (current director of the training center) as assistant. »
