As expected, the French "Ligue 1" club has sacked their coach Gerard Gill, who has been at odds with the club's president, Francois Nicolai, for a long time.

Gill and Nicolai have been at odds for a long time. After the victory of "Bastia" last weekend, Gill stated that the club needed a new president. It is believed that this was the final straw for Francois Nicolai.

According to representatives of "Bastia," the former assistants of Gerard Gill, Christophe Galtier and Jose Pasqualetti, will lead the club until the end of the season, and in the summer the team will likely look for a new coach.

"Bastia" is currently in 13th place in the French championship and is seven points away from relegation to the second division zone.
