Professional squad

The Aiglons’ squad numbers

With only hours to go until the league gets underway (at 8pm on Saturday against Reims), OGC Nice have communicated the squad numbers for the coming season to the LFP.

On loan last season, Mouez Hassen (Châteauroux), Gautier Lloris (GFC Ajaccio) and Olivier Boscagli (Nîmes) keep their numbers: Number 1 for the keeper, and respectively number 3 and 28 for the two defenders.

Rémi Walter who returns from his loan at Troyes, will no longer wear number 18, which was given to Ihsan Sacko this winter. The midfielder picks up the number 6 shirt, worn by Jean-Michaël Seri since 2015.

Several youngsters have also been attributed their first official number: Romain Perraud (22), Yannis Clémentia (16) and Ignatius Ganago. The young forward from Cameroon inherits the number 14 from Alassane Plea (2014-18).

Finally, the three new recruits will wear numbers 20 (Youcef Atal), 21 (Danilo) and 29 (Christophe Hérelle).

A thought for Kevin Amin

The club continues to show its support for Kevin Anin by not attributing number 17, the number worn by the midfielder before his serious traffic accident.
