Struggling Nice announced a press conference for Monday morning amid widespread French media reports that coach Franck Haise is no longer the coach.
Contacted by AFP Nice, who have slipped to 13th in Ligue 1, said on Sunday evening that a press conference would be held on Monday at the club’s training centre, without providing further details.
Fremch media reported that Haise had agreed to leave.
His team beat second-division Saint-Etienne in the French Cup last week to snap a club record nine-game losing streak.
The news conference comes less than 10 days after the return of former manager and club president Jean-Pierre Rivere to replace Fabrice Bocquet as club chief executive officer.
The club is owned by INEOS, the company of the British entrepreneur Jim Ratcliffe, who also has a 25-per cent stake in Manchester United.
In November players, staff, and management had a run-in with 200 fans gathered in front of the training centre to express their anger at the Nice squad as it returned from a 3-1 loss at Lorient.
The club returns from their brief winter break with a home match against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on January 3.
