Squad17 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Bissourou Touré

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

One of those days for Bilel Aouacheria

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.62, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Moussa Diallo

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

Market17 Aug 2026

A long bet from Nimes on Charles Berger

He is 16, and nobody at Nimes signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market17 Aug 2026

Nimes sign Émile Moulin, one for the future

Émile Moulin is 16, and Nimes have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market17 Aug 2026

Nimes sign Arnaud Paris, one for the future

Arnaud Paris is 16, and Nimes have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market17 Aug 2026

Nimes buy the years ahead of Sébastien Gérard

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Match15 Aug 2026

Honours even between Nimes and Red Star

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad10 Aug 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.

Clément Depres in the eights

A performance of 8.22 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Bissourou Touré in the eights

A performance of 8.11 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

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.

Pablo Martinez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pablo Martinez and Nimes agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Nimes

Pablo Martinez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Bissourou Touré in the eights

A performance of 8.58 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Najib Bennour 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.

Luca Dias lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Market3 Aug 2026

Dramane Diaby told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Dramane Diaby has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Nimes.

Match1 Aug 2026

Honours even between Nimes and Sochaux

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Experience through the door at Nimes

Hugo Vidémont arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
