Boudaoui, a former professional footballer who played for several clubs in the French Ligue 1 and Serie A, has renewed his contract with Nice until 2026. He is now known as one of France's most successful players, having won numerous trophies throughout his career.
Born in Algeria but raised in France, Boudaoui began his career at Nice F.C., where he made it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and the final of the Coupe de la Ligue. He also represented the national team at youth level, scoring 14 goals in just four years at Nice.
After retiring from professional football, Boudaoui went on to become a coach, winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 2018 with Paris Saint-Germain. In addition to coaching, he was also appointed head coach of Nice F.C. in 2020, and has since led the club to two consecutive promotions to the top flight of French football.
In his time at Nice, Boudaoui helped the club achieve success both domestically and internationally. He was named the best player in France in 2015 and 2017, and he has been called up to the French national team for several international matches.
As a future core member of the Nice squad, Boudaoui is confident that he will continue to be a key player for the club. "I am really looking forward to being part of this great team," he said. "I have always been passionate about football and I know that my skills and experience can help us reach new heights."
Despite the challenges faced by the club, Boudaoui remains committed to helping Nice succeed. "We want to continue to grow and develop together," he said. "I believe in our team and we will work hard to achieve our goals."
