Nice Coach Franck Haise Launches Scathing Public Criticism of Players After Europa league Struggles
Nice, France – November 7, 2025 - OGC Nice manager Franck Haise delivered a blistering public rebuke of his players following teh team’s continued poor form in the Europa League, where they currently sit 35th out of 36 teams after losing all four matches. The normally composed coach unleashed a passionate tirade at a press conference, signaling a dramatic shift in approach as he attempts to salvage their European campaign and address a concerning pattern of underperformance.
Haise, known for his typically calm demeanor, appears to have reached a breaking point with his squad. The outburst comes as Nice struggles to compete on the continental stage, prompting the coach to publicly challenge his players’ effort, mentality, and commitment. The situation impacts not only the team’s chances in the Europa League but also raises questions about the overall direction and ambition of the club.
“we attacked the match quite well. Beyond individual mistakes, everyone must do better. We are not at the level in the European Cup,” Haise stated, as reported by RMC Sport. He continued, demanding a significant increase in intensity, both in training and during matches. “I’ve been talking about high standards since I’ve been here, daily work, not falling as soon as there’s a duel.Many players fall as soon as there is a duel! it’s the same in training. Stop falling! And then when you start playing, you have to continue. Why are we stopping? When you train at 80%. We need to be at 110%! If they don’t understand that. We have to be at 110%! if you don’t add more, you’ll get blown up. In 13 minutes!”
Haise also challenged his players to set aside personal concerns and egos. “Some have good matches. You have to leave your ego behind. Besides, there is no world champion.Let’s give our best! I expect us to give our best,” he emphasized. He further added, “When guys are not happy but when they play they are not good, you have to say things. The first one that’s not good is me, don’t worry. If one day there is one who is better, they will take the best, I have no problem with that. But damn I’m here, the guys have to envy what. Must send. We don’t have the means to do anything else, that’s what we have to understand. We are capable of doing good things when everyone does good things.”
The comments, made on November 6, 2025, and updated on November 7, 2025, represent a clear attempt to shock the team into improvement and establish a more demanding habitat. It remains to be seen weather Haise’s forceful approach will yield the desired results as Nice faces mounting pressure to turn their season around.
