Match7 Dec 2026

Nimes are in real trouble now

Position 11, 16 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Sofian Bahloul

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match5 Dec 2026

No end in sight to Nimes's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Nimes has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad7 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Luca Dias

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match5 Dec 2026

US Creteil take the points off Nimes

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Vincent Pirès suspended

One booking too many, and Vincent Pirès sits out. Nimes lose him for the sort of avoidable reason that makes a manager's week longer.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Diaby Doucouré says Nimes went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Sofian Bahloul

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Vincent Pirès gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 Sep 2026

Nimes lose Vincent Pirès

42 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Nimes

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Nimes are no longer polite ones.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a goal for Nimes

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match12 Sep 2026

Nimes and Tours cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Tours came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Mario Balan-Bitca makes his debut at 17

At 17 years old, Mario Balan-Bitca became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Othmane Benhamza knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nimes, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market24 Aug 2026

Axel Kedvesi asks to leave Nimes

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Sofian Bahloul runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Vincent Pirès

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Vincent Pirès, and the manager let it.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Nimes against Dijon

0‑1 to Dijon, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Nimes

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Nimes pick somebody else ahead of Dramane Diaby

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Mehdi Boussaïd

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Pablo Martinez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nimes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match8 Aug 2026

Nimes get the job done against Bourg-Peronnas

A 2‑1 win over Bourg-Peronnas, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Jared Khasa

Marked 8.32 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market10 Aug 2026

Moussa Diallo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Nimes has been clear about where Moussa Diallo stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nimes and Vincent Pirès are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jared Khasa is off the mark for Nimes

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jared Khasa named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Jared Khasa has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Market10 Aug 2026

Magno Cruz brings the grey hairs Nimes lacked

At 38, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.
