Report: Olle-Nicolle fired as Nice coach

Didier Olle-Nicolle has reportedly been fired as Nice coach due to the team's poor performance in the French league.

According to reports, Nice president Gilbert Stellardo decided Tuesday the team will be coached by Eric Roy, Rene Marsiglia and Frederic Giorgia until the end of the season. The trio of coaches led Monday's training session.

The club didn't confirm Olle-Nicolle's firing and said an official decision has yet to be taken.

Nice, which has won only one of its last 15 games, currently is 17th in the standings, five points above the relegation zone. Eleven more rounds are still to be played in the French league. Nice travels to struggling Le Mans on Saturday.
