OGC Nice has found its new sporting director. Geoffrey Moncada, announced to become the new sporting director, has finally given up on the OGC Nice project.

Who is the new sporting director?

President Maurice Cohen had to quickly turn to another option. Long considered as an advisor, Roger Ricort is now the big favorite to succeed Florian Maurice.

Why this choice?

Roger Ricort, former player of the Gym and then sporting director from 2005 to 2009, under Cohen's direction, should return to his heart club to take over from Florian Maurice.

What is the current context?

OGC Nice is currently 16th in Ligue 1, with 32 points, 7 wins, 11 losses and 16 draws in 34 games, and a recent form of WDDLD. The club has scored 37 goals and conceded 60, with a goal difference of -23. OGC Nice is 44 points behind leaders Paris Saint Germain. | Statistic | Value | | --- | --- | | Ranking | 16th | | Points | 32 | | Wins | 7 | | Losses | 11 | | Draws | 16 | | Goals scored | 37 | | Goals conceded | 60 | | Goal difference | -23 |

What does this mean for the future?

The arrival of Roger Ricort as sporting director could be officialized in the next few hours, according to Nice-matin. This could have an impact on the rest of the season and recruitment choices for OGC Nice.
