Uptrend lasted only briefly
Was it really for Lucien Favre this time? After the cup with the OGC Nice on Saturday against third division CO Le Puy (0: 1), there is again a report in France about the separation from the former Bundesliga coach. That was supposedly the case in the summer, but this time things seem much clearer.
In September, Nice’s President Jean-Pierre Rivère denied an ultimatum for Favre or an early dismissal of the Swiss trainer with the help of the country’s most respected sports newspaper. Now it is the “L’Equipe‘ herself, who reports on the end. The eleventh in the table pulled the ripcord after the cup embarrassment in Auvergne, Favre announced the decision on Monday. Assistant Didier Digard will take over the team for the time being.
Even after the separation rumors a quarter of a year ago, Favre had not been able to turn things around. Although the OGC have only lost once in their last eight league games since the beginning of October, they have only won three games. An upward trend in the table only succeeded for a short time.
