President Nicolas Holveck has died from cancer

He arrived in Nancy last August after he was removed from duties as the president of Rennes in May 2022 due to cancer. He served as the president of the Ligue 1 club between 2020 and 2022.

Back in March 2024, Holveck was removed from his presidential role at Nancy as his health deteriorated rapidly in recent weeks.

A club statement read: “It is with immense sadness that we learned this morning of the death of our president Nicolas Holveck.”

“He fought to the end against illness and on behalf of the entire club, from the shareholders to the licensees, we offer our most sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. A tribute will be paid to him in consultation with his family.”

Who was AS Nancy Lorraine president Nicolas Holveck?

Before joining Nancy in August 2023, Holveck held multiple executive positions at several French clubs including Rennes, Monaco, and RC Strasbourg. He served as the president of Rennes between 2020 and 2022.

In March 2021, he announced his cancer while continuing his position as club president and ultimately stepped down from his position in May 2022. Holveck bounced back to Nancy last August but took time off his duties last month.

His state of health slumped rapidly in the last few weeks and unfortunately lost the battle on Monday morning. But the way Holveck went through the battle with dignity and no complaints commands a sheer amount of respect.
