wish of both sides
Lucien Favre has not been back as a coach at OGC Nice for long, and yet the end of the former Bundesliga coach’s second engagement on the Côte d’Azur already seems to be a matter of hours. Noisy “RMC Sports“There are talks about a replacement, which should not be final yet, neither with regard to Favre’s dismissal nor with the hoped-for successor: Mauricio Pochettino.
According to the broadcaster, the separation will take place at the request of both the club and the coach. Favre had returned this summer, four years after the end of his first stint in Nice. Only three wins from twelve competitive games so far, only two of them in the league. In the Conference League, the team came close to failing in the qualifying round at Maccabi Tel Aviv, and also missed out on victories against 1. FC Köln and Partizan Belgrade in the group stage. The recent defeat against Angers on Sunday in Ligue 1 is said to have given the final impetus to the decision.
According to the report, just as Favre’s end is sealed, it is already clear who should take over the scepter. Pochettino, who was in charge at PSG until the end of last season, is the top priority and apparently also open to signing with the “Aiglons”. According to information from “Foot Mercato” and “Nice-Matin”, a meeting with the Argentine is scheduled for Tuesday.
