OGC Nice are experiencing significant changes this summer as they prepare for the upcoming season. The departure of key figures within the club signals a period of transition that could reshape the team’s future both on and off the pitch.
The exodus began with the departure of sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, who has already been confirmed to join AS Roma. Ghisolfi’s move marks a significant loss for Nice, as his strategic vision and player acquisitions were instrumental in the club’s recent successes. His expertise will now benefit the Serie A side, leaving a void in Nice’s management structure that will be challenging to fill.
In a further blow to the club, head coach Francesco Farioli has completed a move to Ajax. Farioli’s tenure at Nice has seen the team develop a more dynamic and attractive style of play, which has been crucial in their qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
The upheaval extends to the playing squad, with central defender Jean-Clair Todibo being the most prominent player linked with a move away from the club. The 24-year-old French international has attracted considerable interest from major European clubs, most notably Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, with Spurs expected to renew their efforts to sign him this summer.
