Franck Haise, currently under contract with the GOC Nice until 2027, formalized the extension of his lease for two additional seasons, until 2029. This decision, announced by the club, reflects a lasting confidence in the coach and is part of a mixed start-of-season environment for the team, as well as persistent speculation about a possible sale of the club. This extension is seen as a strong signal of stability and continuity for the Nice GCO, especially in an environment where coaches often experience rapid change.
Franck Haise’s arrival on the French Riviera in the summer of 2024, after marking the history of RC Lens, has already had a significant impact on the Nice club. He quickly led the team to 4th place in Ligue 1 in his first season, allowing Nice to regain a presence in Europe and nurture wider ambitions. This contract extension is therefore a clear statement of management’s willingness to consolidate this project in the long term, despite the challenges and uncertainties that may surround the club.
Beyond the sport aspect, this extension is of strategic importance to the entire Nice ecosystem. It brings legibility and reassures players, supporters and investors, affirming the club’s faith in the method and vision of Franck Haise. His move to Lens had already revealed his ability to create a strong gaming identity, based on work, discipline and constant progression. Although challenges remain in terms of regularity and European performance, this decision underlines the conviction of the GOC Nice that Franck Haise is the key figure in its future project.
