OGC Nice President Ganaye confirms interest in Olivier Giroud

Speaking as a special guest on Téléfoot this morning, OGC Nice President Gauthier Ganaye discussed the Ligue 1 side’s upcoming summer window and confirmed interest in Olivier Giroud (Chelsea) and Rémi Oudin (Reims).

“[Giroud] is coming to the end of his contract, he is still performing well at his age. Why not, I will tell you that it is possible… [But] very expensive.”

“With Gilles Grimandi and Patrick Vieira, we have defined the technical profile for the different positions that we are looking to strengthen. So today, we know the 4 or 5 players that interest us in that position (centre forward). I am not going to give you names though.”

TF1 claims that Nice’s attacking priority is Clermont forward Florian Ayé, who has scored 17 goals in Ligue 2 this season.

On Reims’ attacking sensation Rémi Oudin, Ganaye added:

“Yes, because of the season he is having, he is interesting everyone.”

Juninho is Lyon’s next Sporting Director – but who will manage?

As reported by L’Équipe, ex-player and club legend Juninho is returning to Lyon as Sporting Director effective quasi-immediately.

But, they have yet to choose their replacement for manager Bruno Génésio – they have decided not to do so until the end of the season – Laurent Blanc, Julien Stéphan and Patrick Vieira are all preferred options, but for the moment there has been no advance in discussions for anyone of the trio.

Aulas likes Christophe Galtier (Lille), but he is not available. Vieira might be owing to the continued board uncertainty at OGC Nice, Blanc and Stéphan are desperately looking for opportunities.

A series of other candidates are also in the fray: ex-players – 38-year-old Atletico Madrid assistant Tiago, whose interests are being managed by Jorge Mendes, is someone who OL are looking closely at. Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola’s assistant, is another individual in contention: he has no experience as a #1 either. The other individual is Sylvinho, current boss of Brazil’s U23s. Aged 45, he worked as an assistant for Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan.

Claude Puel: “I would like to discover Spain.”

Speaking in an interview with Nice-Matin, Claude Puel discussed his next career move.

“I am not particularly careerist, but I need to be immersed in competition, in passion, to be in a project. Put footballing principles in place, bring a club forward, always with the intention of playing European football or qualifying for it some time after. I have opened my breadth of competence through the clubs that I have been at… I need responsibilities. In a big club, or in a club that wants to become big… I would like to discover Spain.”

I don’t know anything about them, it will depend on the project. I could very well take a year out too if a good opportunity does not present itself.

Shock & confusion as PSG announce the dissolution of their reserves team

RMC report that a handful of players at PSG were shocked and confused to hear that the club had decided to dissolve their reserve team set-up, effective immediately.

The team played in the French 4th division and Les Parisiens announced in a press release earlier today that they would no longer exist, in a restructure which ensures that all prospects are either training with the first team or playing for the U19s.

The outlet understands that the decision was taken by PSG Sporting Director Antero Henrique following failed conversations with the French Football Federation and the LFP about allowing Les Parisiens’ reserve team set-up to play in Ligue 2, the French second division.

Henrique announced the decision to the players belonging to the reserve team this Friday morning and assured them that he would keep any agreements he had made with individuals about new contracts.

A relief for 25-year-old Abdallah Yaisien, 19-year-old defender Arnaud Nkodi Luzayadio and 22-year-old left-back Isaac Hemans, who had all been in extension negotiations for several weeks.
