NICE, France (AP) — Jean-Pierre Rivère is stepping down as president of Nice after 14 years at the helm of the French league club. Nice said in a statement on Friday that he will be replaced by the club's current CEO, Fabrice Bocquet, from Aug. 20. Nice said the move was approved by Ineos, which acquired the club in 2019.

OGC Nice confirm Youssoufa Moukoko departure
OGC Nice, through their CEO, Fabrice Bocquet, have confirmed that Youssoufa Moukoko (20) will leave the club. The purchase option included in his loan deal from Borussia Dortmund will not be activated. Moukoko netted just two goals for Nice, both of which came in the 8-0 hammering of Saint-Étienne back in September. He was often used off the bench in Ligue 1 in the first part of the season but was given more opportunity to prove his credentials in the Europa League. He did not take them, failing to net in eight games in that competition as Le Gym finished second from bottom in the League Phase and without a single win. Advertisement Nice's elimination from that tournament coincided with the German dropping out of the picture entirely. His last game in any competition came in the Coupe de France against Stade Briochin in early February; his last start in Ligue 1 came all the way back in October. Unsurprisingly, therefore, Moukoko will not be retained by Nice. 'We won't keep him,' confirmed Bocquet during an interview with Ici Azur. There had been an option to make the deal permanent for €18m. He will therefore return to parent club Borussia Dortmund. Reports in Germany suggest that the Bundesliga giants will look to sell the forward. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
