PARIS (FRANCE) – After a string of poor results, Nice sacked coach Patrick Vieira, said the Ligue 1 club on Friday.
They lost 3-2 on home turf to Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday in the Europa League. This leaves them in third position in Group C with three points, dashing their hope of reaching the knockouts.
The club also lost their last five competitive games and are placed 11th in the Ligue 1 standings.
“Patrick Vieira, who joined the club in the summer of 2018, is no longer head coach of OGC Nice, effective immediately,” the club said in a statement.
“In a meeting conducted after last night’s match, the Nice Board informed Patrick Vieira of their decision to end their collaboration.”
