Hamza Koutoune (18) has been loaned to Annecy without an option to buy for the 2025-26 season.

Capable of playing right back or wingback, the Moroccan U20 international will play for Annecy this season, with the aim of getting playing time in Ligue 2 and returning with more experience next summer.

A product of the Mohammed VI Academy, Hamza joined the Rouge et Noir training centre in January, before fully integrating into the first team during preseason. He played his first minutes as a pro against Benfica at the Luz, before making his L1 debut against AJ Auxerre.

OGC Nice wishes him a great season!
