Didier Digard will end the season at the head of OGC Nice. The young 36-year-old coach was confirmed even before the huge success in Monaco (3-0). “Indeed, it is a discussion that we had this week to continue together until the end of the season and to advance this group as best as possible. For us the staff is a satisfaction because we see the public happy, the players who are behind us and trust us. We want to make them progress and arrive this summer with a very efficient group.
With him at the helm, the Gym leapt up the rankings. It is 6 wins for 2 draws, 17 goals scored for only 2 goals conceded. After a failed part of the season under the leadership of Lucien Favre, Nice moved up to 7th place in the championship, just 5 points from the last qualifying place for a European Cup. With the current momentum, especially after beating teams from the first part of the table (LOSC, Lens, OM and Monaco), the Riviera club can consider the future positively.
Digard wants to stay but…
One week from discovering the Europa League Conference (against Sheriff Tiraspol), Didier Digard still has not experienced defeat. For the rest, on the other hand, he does not yet know when Nice morning points out to him that“there is no reason to change coach next season”. “I would rather it be an affirmation. I don’t have to ask myself this question.” smiled the former midfielder, like a message sent directly to Jim Ratcliff the owner of the Gym.
“I’m in Nice, I want to win all the matches and therefore extend the adventure here. I do not project myself further than that but I know football … My desire is to stay. A little later in this interview, he also acknowledges that he has received requests for the rest of his career as a coach. “Yes, but I pay no attention to it” admits the one who is still only a temporary worker. It is up to him to extend the good series of the moment to definitively become the number one on the Nice bench.
