- The 42-year-old Brazilian plans to retire at the end of the current season after a decade at OGC Nice.
- Ouest-France relayed the Sky report and noted Dante’s earlier Bayern stint from 2012 to 2015, which included the 2013 Champions League title.
- Le Parisien says Franck Ribéry is open to returning as an assistant alongside Dante, citing Bild and Sky Sports Germany, and notes he holds a UEFA A license and has coached at Salernitana.
