One thing is certain for the Nice daily: Galtier's successor at the Allianz Riviera will be named Lucien Favre.
Aged 55 and free since leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2020, the Swiss coach would have no problem adapting to the head of OGC Nice, he who has already coached the Aiglons for two seasons, between 2016 and 2018.
The Campos/Galtier duo reformed
For Galtier, also 55, it would be a leap into the unknown, he who previously officiated in Saint-Etienne (2009-17) and Lille (2017-21) as number 1. The native of Marseille would find however, a certain Luis Campos in the capital, the Portuguese having been appointed as the club's football adviser in place of the former sports director, Leonardo.
He could also work again with players he knew in Lille, for example Renato Sanches, announced in the viewfinder of the club with 10 crowns of champion of France.
