Franck Haise: Nice Europa League Exit – Disappointment & Resolve

Still standing. A time announced on the departure after the start of the serious crisis currently affecting his club, Franck Haise finally decided to stay in his post. The OGC Nice coach still failed to get things back on track, and was unable to prevent a new defeat for his team on the European scene, the 8th in all competitions. A record in the history of the club.

“I am here and I am fighting,” he assured at a press conference after his players’ setback on Thursday against Braga (0-1). Losing eight games doesn’t please anyone. But once we’ve said that, what do we do? What touches me the most is that I would like to see my team all the time like in the 2nd half… What the players can master is to give their all. »

“Not enough quality and strength”

“When you lose eight games in a row, you lack oxygen, it’s a reality,” he continued. However, we will not play the next matches at the summit of Mont-Blanc. You have to get oxygen by doing things together with a lot of energy. »

However, according to him, Nice “does not have enough quality and strength to afford not to give everything. We have no choice but to put a lot in because when you’re shy, not much happens.”

The Côte d’Azur club is still in a fog since the serious incidents that occurred two weeks ago between players and supporters. Two players, Terem Moffi and Jérémie Boga, were notably placed on work stoppage and several complaints were filed.

With this 6th defeat in six Europa League matches this season, Nice has lost any chance of qualifying and is also continuing its series of matches without a victory in the European Cup, which now stands at 18.
