Across State Lines: Gioacchini Leaving Montpellier

As many of the European leagues come to a close, some players are learning their future and whether they’ll be returning to their clubs for the 2022-2023 season or not. One player who won’t be returning to his current club is KC native Nicholas Gioacchini. Gioacchini had spent this current season on loan with Montpellier HSC in Ligue 1, the French first division. There’d been reports last week that Montpellier wasn’t going to make Gioacchini’s loan permanent and he’d be returning to SM Caen in Ligue 2 at least temporarily before another permanent move. After Montpellier ended the season with a 2-0 loss to Lens the club announced a thank you to players, including Gioacchini, implying that his time with the club is done.
