The atmosphere has not been good at FC Nantes in recent days. Tensions rise a notch between the FCN technician, Antoine Kombouaré, and the locker room.
FC Nantes: Antoine Kombouaré in the hot seat, the FCN locker room is rumbling
The climate is tense at FC Nantes after the new defeat against Le Havre AC (0-2), Sunday at the end of the 12th day of Ligue 1. Tensions are rising internally between the FCN technician, Antoine Kombouaré, and his men.
According to information from West Francesome players begin to express their dissatisfaction with the coach's methods. A lack of renewal in his speech and the absence of a clear tactical framework would be particularly singled out. These criticisms could prove fatal to Antoine Kombouaré, especially if the results do not improve in the next matches.
Despite a contract until 2026, Antoine Kombouaré could be forced to leave the Nantes club if the situation does not stabilize quickly. The Kanak technician must mobilize his players to get out of this crisis of results. FC Nantes remains on a disappointing record of nine games without a win, including five defeats in the last six days.
Antoine Kombouaré, until now, is not worried about his future. The coach sees himself capable of reversing the trend. “What if I’m in danger?” This question must be asked of the leaders. We are not going through our best period. But I'm up for the challenge. We are not in a good period and we cannot be happy with the work we have done. We must work and find solutions. The rebellious public? They are very critical and they are right. Their reaction is normal given the matches we are playing at the moment. We must take into account what they say, it’s fair game,” reacted Antoine Kombouaré at a press conference after the defeat.
FC Nantes will soon face tough opponents including PSG, Stade Rennais, Stade Brestois, LOSC and AS Monaco.
