A tense situation escalated into chaos after the Nice players returned from their 3-1 defeat in Lorient. Three days later, confusion and concern remain within the club. Many are questioning how security allowed such a sensitive situation to spiral out of control, leaving players understandably anxious.
A crisis meeting was held in Nice on Wednesday, involving the coaching staff and players. During this meeting, the team expressed concerns about security failures from both the club and authorities, as reported by RMC. The players felt inadequately protected and were alarmed to see several masked individuals present, which is against the law.
Haise on the Brink of Tears
Internally, there are doubts regarding some media reports claiming there was no violence. Franck Haise made his feelings clear earlier in the day: “When I hear that not much happened… Players have been attacked. We don’t have 5 and 7 days of medical leave by coincidence,” he shared with L’Équipe. Jonathan Clauss, along with others like Moffi and Boga, as well as sporting director Florian Maurice, also faced physical assaults.
This distressing event will undoubtedly affect GYM’s season, with several players already expressing a desire to leave. Although Franck Haise considered departing, he has since decided to stay, as we reported this morning. However, he is still visibly shaken. During the crisis meeting, he reportedly came close to tears, touched by the support of his team, who are now united in their resolve. Everyone is determined to move forward together, facing challenges side by side.
