After suffering a sixth consecutive loss across all competitions on Sunday - 3-1 at Lorient in Ligue 1Nice players were confronted by a large number of their supporters when they returned to the club's training and academy center.
Fans shouted insults and demanded greater commitment from the squad as tensions escalated, with reports that some supporters even boarded the team bus.
