In one decisive meeting, everything changed for Nantes and Antoine Kombouaré
The situation of the coach FC Nantes took an unexpected turn, Antoine Kombouare remaining at the helm despite lingering doubts about his future. The Canaries are going through a difficult period in the league, with just one victory in their last 12 games, which places them in 14th position in Ligue 1.
The Kanak tactician, who had recently raised smiles and sparked criticism with his statement on the possibility of recovering himself Randal Cole Muanimanaged to convince the club management to renew their confidence in him – at least for the moment.
The Team had suggested that Habib Beye was expected to take the reins of the club. The former player of loonwho led the Red Star FC to promotion to Ligue 2 last season, however, has no experience in Ligue 1. However, it seems that the Nantes management has completely changed their mind: just yesterday, they confirmed thatHabib Beye would not be their choice.
After a decisive meeting, the management of FC Nantes decided to extend its confidence in Kombouaré, thus putting an end to the rumors surrounding other potential candidates like Sérgio Conceição or Claude Puel. This decision shows a desire for stability, but the situation remains fragile.
Kombouare knows that its future will depend on its results. With Nantes still at the bottom of the rankings, he will have to quickly turn things around to avoid dismissal. He, who already experienced a layoff in May 2023 before being recalled in exceptional circumstances, is not unaware of the high expectations of management.
For now, the priority seems to be to give continuity a chance rather than an upheaval during the season. It remains to be seen whether Kombouare will know how to seize this opportunity and bring the Canaries back to calmer waters.
