Recent protests across France which are expected to continue this weekend mean police resources cannot be allocated for the scheduled football matches.Three other matches – Paris Saint-Germain vs Montpellier, Toulouse vs Lyons and Saint-Etienne vs Marseille – have also been postponed. The decision to call off Nice’s visit to Monaco, which is known as the Derby de la Cote d’Azur, came ‘at the request of the princely government of the Principality of Monaco and in connection with the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes’, a league statement read on Twitter.

Vieira has guided Nice into the top half of the table since his appointment in June, winning seven of 16 league matches to date.Monaco appointed Henry, their former player, as manager two months ago, succeeding the sacked Leonardo Jardim.He failed to win any of his first six matches in charge, before guiding ASM to a 1-0 defeat of Caen last month. Monaco also secured a victory in the most recent matchday, with Falcao netting two penalties in a defeat of Amiens.
