As reported by , OGC Nice are set to sack the club’s director of football Julien Fournier by the end of this week.

As has been reportedly recently, relations between Fournier and coach Christophe Galtier have deteriorated in recent weeks. At the end of the season, INEOS, the club’s owners, undertook an audit of the club’s structures to prepare for next season, which included a meeting last night between Jean-Pierre Rivère, Bob Ratcliffe, Dave Brailsford and Fournier. Fournier left the meeting before everyone else.

Bob Ratcliffe, however, the brother of INEOS CEO Jim, should follow Fournier out with director of sport, and former UK Olympic cycling coach, Brailsford expected to have a direct role in decision making.
