Asked about the future of Antoine Kombouaré after the defeat against OM (1-2), Waldemar made Kita with a phrase of which he has the secret. A sentence full of meaning for his future at FC Nantes?
Since 2007, FC Nantes supporters have become accustomed to the media outings of their owner and president, Waldemar Kita. A very particular style, not always easy to appreciate. Like the last “little sentence” from the boss, after a defeat against OM. As the club continues its seventh match without a victory, Waldemar Kita shows a little smile and even allows himself to joke about the future of his coach, Antoine Kombouaré: “I hope I leave sooner than him!” ».
A hidden message?
Is this little sentence from Waldemar Kita harmless? While rumors of a takeover of FC Nantes have been circulating for several months, the question deserves to be asked… An investment fund, in which Liverpool star Trent Alexander Arnold is located, would have its sights set on the Nantes club. If Kita has denied the existence of negotiations, he is also very likely subject to confidentiality clauses which prohibit him from confirming. And the newspaper L'Équipe mentioned very clearly the existence of meetings, even giving fairly precise figures. There is never smoke without fire.
Kita looking to sell
This desire to leave FC Nantes is not new for Waldemar Kita. In 2020, to Presse Océan, he openly said: “I am ready to open the capital, ready to leave”. Four years later, he is still there and on the verge of breaking the longevity record for a president, erasing the historic Louis Fonteneau from the map… However, the little sentence about Kombouaré remains a reason for hope for the supporters . At a time when French football is doing badly and the financial income of the FCN is at half mast, Kita seems tired of having to continually return to the pot. If he finds a buyer, it would be surprising if he refused an interesting offer.
