- OGC Nice hunt for replacement after Florian Maurice exit
- Grégory Lorenzi deal collapses due to relegation uncertainty
- Rivals Olympique de Marseille secure Lorenzi instead
- Club turn attention to AC Milan technical director Geoffrey Moncada
The Allianz Riviera side seek fresh leadership in their technical department. Current sporting director Florian Maurice departs when the campaign finishes. The club require a suitable candidate quickly.
Recent weeks brought complications. Grégory Lorenzi seemed set for the position. However, the agreement depended on top-flight survival. Nice currently face the drop. Their Ligue 1 status remains in doubt.
Rivals Olympique de Marseille intervened. They secured Lorenzi’s services. The administrator leaves Stade Brestois 29. He now heads to the Vélodrome instead.
Directors at Nice turned their attention elsewhere. Sources indicate Geoffrey Moncada tops their wish list. The Italian club’s technical director previously worked for AS Monaco. He appears ready to quit San Siro. A return to French football looks likely. He would fill the vacancy Maurice creates.
