The Rouge et Noir club has decided to appoint Adrien Ursea as head coach of the club’s professional first team, as of today.
The Swiss-Romanian tactician, who was assistant coach to Patrick Vieira and, before that, Lucien Favre, will take charge of his first Nice match as head coach this Sunday with the trip to Reims.
Patrick Vieira put all his heart and professionalism into his service for OGC Nice over the last two and a half years of their collaboration.
The Nice board sincerely thanks the former France international for his commitment and dedication to the development of the club and wishes him every future success in his coaching career.
