Despite the poor results, FC Nantes coach Antoine Kombouaré should not be sacked in the event of a defeat at the Parc des Princes tomorrow evening (9 p.m.) against PSG. On the other hand, if other setbacks occur….
The numbers are stubborn. And above all show to what extent FC Nantes is not doing well. If tomorrow evening, on the PSG pitch, the Canaries lose or draw against Luis Enrique's players, they will play a tenth consecutive match without success. Very poor performance which has already placed the club at the bottom of the Ligue 1 ranking and which, inevitably, creates a climate of mistrust around the future of the coach.
Antoine Kombouaré knows it. And he also confirmed it at a press conference yesterday, without losing his usual combativeness. According to the daily L'Equipe, in today's edition, the technician will not be pushed out in the event of defeat tomorrow evening. The management, namely Kita father and son, continues to support him. Just like the players on his squad.
The derby as a first test
On the other hand, it seems, and the sports daily confirms it, that the following meetings will be decisive. That is to say those scheduled in L1 before the winter break. Namely the derby against Stade Rennais, Sunday December 8, and the trip, then, to the Stade Brestois field. If the two matches are synonymous with defeats, Kombouaré will logically be ousted. Not easy, all the same.
