FC Nantes miraculously won the point of the draw last weekend on the PSG pitch. Dominated head and shoulders, Antoine Kombouaré's men knew how to keep their backs round and take advantage of the Parisians' lack of offensive realism.
A result which allows for the time being to offer a reprieve to Kombouaré. But until when? Can a defeat next weekend against Stade Rennais seal the fate of Kanak? It is a possibility, although it seems that a decision is not likely to be made before the winter break.
A delay from Kita which exasperates the Nantes supporters. However, it would start to move internally. And obviously, the Kita would consider making a big move.
According to information from Ouest France, Waldemar Kita is considering the return of Sergio Conceição to get the club out of its results crisis. Conceição, former coach of the Canaries, is seen as a potential solution to restore momentum to FC Nantes. Under his leadership, the club experienced great momentum, moving from 19th to 7th place during the 2016-2017 season.
If on paper this idea is attractive, the Kita clan will have to be very, very convincing. Although free from any contract since his departure from FC Porto, Sergio Conceiçao could cost FC Nantes dearly. Conceiçao and his staff would cost no less than 4 million euros per season, or 8 million euros for a two-year lease. If we add to this the cost of the dismissal of Antoine Kombouaré, the overall score for the change of coach could exceed 10 million euros.
In addition, to convince Sergio Conceiçao, the Kita will probably have to offer guarantees for the next transfer window. A file which seems very complicated, even if the regional daily tells us that the Portuguese would be open to the idea of returning to Nantes.
Conceiçao willing to lower its financial requirements?
