Wilfried Nancy recently revealed a desire to manage in Ligue 1 and he may yet be given the chance this summer, with two clubs now interested in his services.

>“It’s true that, in the past three years, there’s been no reason to complain because French clubs wanted to work with me. It is a question of timing, and the timing wasn’t right at the time. Now, I want to come to Ligue 1, if there is an opportunity. I am not the one who decides, but I am ready,” Nancy told RMC Sport last month.

>There has already been interest from FC Lorient, as per a report from Mohamed Toubache-Ter. Les Merlus, who failed to agree a contract extension with Olivier Pantaloni, had set their sights on Will Still, but were pipped to the post by AJ Auxerre.

>They now face competition for one of their other targets, Nancy. As per L’Équipe, the former Celtic boss is a target for OGC Nice, who are set to welcome new owners.

>Alexandre Dujeux, now a free agent since his exit from SCO Angers, is also heavily linked with the job at Nice. However, Le Gym may face competition from RC Lens and Lorient.
