Antoine Kombouaré's position at FC Nantes seems assured despite a series of poor results. For several weeks, the Nantes team has been going through a difficult period with six games without a victory in the league. However, a departure from Kombouaré does not seem possible in the short term.
The main reason for this stability lies in the financial aspects linked to his contract. Indeed, Emmanuel Merceron stressed at the beginning of October that dismissing Kombouaré would cost the club dearly. With another 20 months of contract to honor, FC Nantes should assume a significant salary.Kombouaré's monthly salary amounts to 100,000 euros, a sum that FC Nantes, already in financial difficulty, cannot afford to pay in the event of dismissal. The club's economic situation is weakened by a significant drop in TV rights. In this context, Nantes managers are hesitant to make hasty decisions regarding their coach. They prefer to wait for the sporting situation to improve rather than incur additional expenses by changing coaches. However, if results continue to disappoint, pressure could increase on Kombouaré. The Canaries' performances will therefore be closely scrutinized in the coming weeks, but for the moment, a change at the head of the team seems unlikely.
