Nice have condemned a group of fans in the “strongest possible terms” after players and staff were physically confronted on their return home following Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Lorient.<\/b><\/p>\n
Forwards Terem Moffi, Jeremie Boga and sporting director Florian Maurice were among those targeted by a group of around 400 supporters as the team bus arrived at the club’s training centre, according to reports in France.<\/p>\n
Fans blocked the bus, lit flares, chanted hostile songs and heckled players and staff in incidents which lasted about 45 minutes, witnesses said.<\/p>\n
Ivory Coast forward Boga has been on medical leave since Monday as a result of the confrontation, according to French media.<\/p>\n
“The club understands the frustration generated by the succession of poor performances and performances far removed from its values,” Nice said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“However, the incidents that occurred during this gathering are unacceptable. Several club members were targeted. OGC Nice offers them its full support and condemns these acts in the strongest possible terms.”<\/p>\n
One supporter was allowed to board the bus to talk as the incidents took place, while coach Franck Haise also tried to engage with fans. <\/p>\n
Club president Fabrice Bocquet was not present.<\/p>\n
The confrontation followed Nice’s sixth consecutive defeat in all competitions – a result which leaves the club 10th in Ligue 1 with 17 points from 14 games.<\/p>\n
Nice, who finished fourth in Ligue 1 last season, next host Angers on Sunday. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
