It’s one of the surprises of this start of the summer transfer window. Several days ago, Frank Haise left Racing Club de Lens to everyone’s surprise to sign with OGC Nice.
A change that surprised more than one in France. This Friday, the new strongman of the Aiglons appeared at a press conference alongside his sports director Florian Maurice for the official presentation of the two men.
The former manager of the Blood and Gold spoke about the Nice project and the club’s ambitions. The project is quite simple, it is to work together. When I say together, it is not just a group of 25 players. That is the one and only true project. We also know that results are important. When I started my career as a professional coach at Lens, we were in L2. There is no assurance. I am not looking for any. I do this job to share, to experience emotions, to have results. I would not have been on a fixed-term contract for 38 years if I was looking for guarantees, “ he told reporters.
Towards departures from Todibo and Thuram
Things should change during this summer transfer window in the Nice ranks. And this in the direction of departures and arrivals. As for departures, important players should set sail, namely Jean-Clair Todibo and Khéphren Thuram.
In front of journalists, the French coach, as well as his sports director Florian Maurice and the president Jean-Pierre Rivère affirmed that exit vouchers had been granted to these two players. On this subject, I can talk about it. There are open doors. That being said, a transfer window is always very complicated. Today, the door is open for these players. Will they be there at the start of the season? We’ll find out at the end. »
