Sir Jim Ratcliffe shows ruthless side as joint Lewis Hamilton Man Utd bid takes shape

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has sacked Nice manager Lucien Favre after just six months in charge following an embarrassing defeat.

Favre returned for a second stint in charge of Nice in June following Christophe Galtier’s move to Paris Saint-Germain. He was sacked on Monday after overseeing a 1-0 defeat by third-tier team Le Puy in the Coupe de France.

Didier Digard has been placed in temporary charge while a permanent replacement is found. Nice are 11th in Ligue 1 with 21 points from 17 games and have not won for three matches. Nice are owned by chemicals giant Ineos, who were founded in 1998 by Britain’s richest man, Ratcliffe.
