Roger Ricort has introduced stricter daily rules at OGC Nice with head coach Olivier Pantaloni, including clocking in on arrival, squad meals and a ban on speaking English, according to L'Équipe.

Ricort has returned as sporting director 17 years after leaving the same role, and his arrival has had an immediate effect on players’ routines.
