OGC Nice sacked Swiss Lucien Favre as first-team coach on Monday due to the team’s poor results, and Didier Digard will take over as interim coach of the French side.
The Côte d’Azur side have taken just one point from two games in Ligue 1 after the World Cup break and were surprisingly eliminated in the Cup at third-division OC Le Puy, prompting a reaction from the board. The club owned by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe and his company Ineos is currently eleventh in Ligue 1.
Favre, 65, who previously managed Nice between 2016 and 2018, returned to the club in the summer of 2022 after turning down an offer from his then club Borussia Mönchengladbach. He previously managed Hertha BSC, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
