Coach Franck Haise Departs Lens for Nice: End of an Era for Sang et Or

Coach Franck Haise will leave Lens to join Nice, he told AFP on Tuesday evening, confirming information from L’Équipe. The departure of Norman, at the club since 2020 and still under contract until 2027, marks the end of a cycle for the Sang et Or, who had returned to Ligue 1 and the Champions League under his command. He should land in the OGC Nice nets. Two years after attracting the former sporting director of the northern club Florian Ghisolfi, it is the RC Lens coach who would have signed with Jean-Pierre Rivère’s club according to information from L’Equipe The transfer had been anticipated for several weeks, and the rumor had intensified in recent days after the departure of Nice coach Francesco Farioli, and the abandonment of the track leading to Bruno Génésio.

This should not improve relations between the two clubs. In 2022, RC Lens filed a complaint against OGC Nice after the poaching of Florian Ghisolfi, who took with him several members of the staff at the time. Lens now loses the strong man of its project for four years, who had become the face of the club after bringing it back to Ligue 1, then qualifying it for the European Cup over the last two seasons. Arnaud Pouille, the club’s current sporting director, also having to pack his bags, Frank Haise had already mentioned his desire to leave at a press conference at the end of the season. In the North, a new cycle must begin.
