Video: Ghisolfi is new Roma director, confirm Nice

Florent Ghisolfi will be the new director of sport at Roma next season, confirmed his current employers OGC Nice.

The announcement was made in a video interview by Nice President Jean-Pierre Rivere following the final game of the Ligue 1 season on Sunday evening.

“Florent Ghisolfi is leaving us for Roma and we are happy for him,” said Rivere.

“We had some good months together, he is a good person and we appreciate that very much. We wish him all the best. It is all done, he asked to leave and we accepted.”

It had been reported for a few weeks that Ghisolfi had won the race to take over the role at the Stadio Olimpico for the 2024-25 campaign.

The position had been effectively vacant since Tiago Pinto resigned at the end of the January transfer window.

The 39-year-old is handing in his resignation at Nice, therefore avoiding the need for Roma to buy him out of his current contract.
