FC Nantes once again experienced a day of twists and turns as only they have the art of staging them. Antoine Kombouaré had not finished his press conference to discuss the Drancy match and his ambitions as his leaders were busy behind the scenes to finalize the arrival of Habib Beye, their priority target since the refusal of Sergio Conceiçao.
The leaders of the Yellow House had planned the dismissal of Antoine Kombouaré this Friday at dawn, summoned to an interview with Franck Kita. They then hoped to roll out the red carpet for the former OM central defender, expected at the end of the morning at Jonelière to lead his first session and take the group in hand, with a view to taking him to Saint-Ouen for the Coupe de France, the same place where he launched his career on a bench.
A staff composition problem
As announced by our colleagues from Ocean Press, everything collapsed in the evening after the consultant’s difficulties in composing his staff. Grégory Dupont, the former physical trainer for the Blues and Zidane’s Real, finally declined the invitation while Faouzi Amzal, the expected goalkeeper coach, is still under contract with Red Star. With the exception of Sébastien Bichard, Habib Beye had his architecture to review and the new names proposed seriously cooled the management, angry and overcome by doubts.
History being an eternal restart, it recalls the mishap that happened to Jocelyn Gourvennec, when the latter was asked to succeed Claudio Ranieri in May 2018. The management then changed its mind. This time, she has no plan C and the procrastination could stretch Antoine Kombouaré’s lease on the FC Nantes bench.
