An important new arrival for the club

Nice wants to dream big. Ninth in the table, Lucien Favre’s men disappointed at the start of the season despite their recent good momentum. Between a European journey that fans hope will be great and a European place to conquer at the end of the season, the transfer window will be decisive in achieving his goals.

OGC Nice is active in the winter transfer window. After the arrival of Florent Ghisolfi, we suspected that recruiting on the Riviera would get the hair of the beast. A follower of good transfer moves and data-driven hiring, the sporting director is full of ideas and has targeted a few players in particular. Thus, Enzo Le Fée and Julien Ponceau from Lorient are highly regarded and if Régis Le Bris wanted to keep them, a tidy sum could convince the leaders to sell at least one. Added to this is Fabiano Parisi, an Empoli player who knows Mattia Vitima well Ghisolfi also wants to overturn the club’s organizational chart and this time he makes use of consistent support well known to the French.

A recruiting unit ready to act

Indeed, the most attentive supporters of Nice will have noticed a particular presence in recent days at the Aiglons sports centre. A player with a respectable pedigree could very well join OGC Nice’s new set-up in the person of Sébastien Squillaci. The former France international is still without a team since he left AS Monaco reserve where he was assistant coach. He did not join Lucien Favre’s staff but rather the recruiting unit, a first for him who until then had been confined to the role of coach of the Bastia-Borgo U15s and assistant in Monaco’s youth categories. The course would have good relations with Florent Ghisolfi the adopted course who played for 7 years at Sporting Club Bastia. An arrival a few days after rumors of a potential arrival of RC Lens director of performance, Laurent Bessière who resigned from the artesian club a few weeks ago with the aim of joining his former sporting director as soon as possible.

A new choice that confirms the relaunch of the Côte d’Azur organization chart under the guidance of a Florent Ghisolfi who is more influential than ever. The Squillaci-Ghisolfi tandem echoes the potential Lorenzi-Tavenot tandem at Stade Brestois through the relationships forged at SC Bastia. In any case, the new sporting director welcomes the resumption of his former club and there will be electricity in the air during this 16th day of Ligue 1.
