With the arrivals of Franck Haise and Florian Maurice, respectively to the positions of first team coach and sporting director, theOGC Nice opened a new chapter in its history. The former coach of Racing Club de Lens embodies a new project, based on an offensive game.
But Haise did not arrive alone to take control of the Riviera club. At his side was Philippe Barraud. The latter had been inducted as recruitment director of the OGC Nice training center. A mission already completed.
A decision that would go badly in Nice
Philippe Barraud announced two weeks ago his desire to leave OGC Nice immediately. Like Florian Maurice, this technician had good knowledge of Stade Rennais, where he officiated. And he made the choice to return home.
Asked on RMC about his short-term future, Philippe Barraud announced “ a choice of the heart » to confirm his return to Stade Rennais. This decision would have been very poorly received in the higher authorities of OGC Nice, which had relied on Barraud’s profile for an important role in its organizational chart.
