While Antoine Kombouaré seems to be leaving and the path leading to Sergio Conceiçao has closed, Habib Beye is holding the rope to become the new coach of FC Nantes, report West France et The Team.
It is Antoine Kombouaré who will appear at a press conference this Thursday noon, two days before the trip to Drancy (National 3) in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France (Saturday at 6 p.m.). But it is now more and more likely that the technician is living his last moments as coach of FC Nantes.

In great difficulty in the league, with only one victory in the last 12 matches and 14th place in Ligue 1, just one point from the red zone, the Canaries are looking for a new coach. In recent days, the track leading to Sergio Conceiçao has made a lot of noise. But the hypothesis of seeing the former FC Porto coach return to Loire-Atlantique, seven years after his first visit (2016-2017), is now ruled out. The Portuguese technician rejected the advances of Nantes, reports West France.
Many profiles studied, Beye holds the rope
According to the regional daily and The Teamit is now Habib Beye who holds the rope. The former Red Star coach has been on the shortlist since the Nantes leaders set out to find a successor to Kombouaré. Numerous profiles were studied by the Nantes management. But it is therefore that of the ex-OM and Newcastle player, with no experience at the head of a Ligue 1 team, who holds the rope.
The only certainty for the moment: Kombouaré will be on the Nantes bench against Drancy in the Coupe de France, undoubtedly for his last match at the head of the Canaries. The Kanak technician has already announced that he will not accept any questions about his future this Thursday at a press conference, under penalty of leaving the room.
