The team from the far south of France had a desperate start to the new season, despite the huge investment and renovation of the team. It will all break over the back of the experienced strategist Lucien Favre, the only question is how long the leaders of Nice will have patience for him.Favre, who only arrived at the club in the summer, is already under pressure with his relationship between players and the club’s board already looking frosty.According to FootMercato, this has already led to the club, owned by British richest man Jim Ratcliffe, to begin looking for a replacement.A solution for the bench of Nice is still awaited, since the proposal for a new job was rejected by Mauricio Pochettino. After his dismissal from PSG, Pochettino was given the opportunity to stay in Ligue 1 and take over the club from the UEFA Conference League, which was led by his successor in Paris, Christophe Galtier, with great success in the previous competitive year. However, Pochettino wants to rest at the moment, and skip this season.Despite the mutual interest between Pochettino (Former PSG Coach) and OGC Nice, as it stands there are very little chances that the negotiations will lead to an agreement. The Argentine coach is rather waiting to join a more upscale European club instead. 🇦🇷❌[@Santi_J_FM] pic.twitter.com/DQ8DAdjLu1— PSG Report (@PSG_Report) September 21, 2022 That has left Nice on the lookout again and according to the report, an advisor at the club in Iain Moody has recommended Scott Parker to take over.Parker has been out of work since his brutal sacking at Bournemouth at the start of the Premier League season following rows over internal affairs, with his dismissal coming days after a humiliating 9-0 defeat at Liverpool.Current Nice manager Favre is criticized for certain statements, but mostly for the team’s form and chemistry.
