In the event of the ousting of Antoine Kombouaré, who must not lose the next two matches (Rennes, Brest), the leaders of FC Nantes are considering the return of the Portuguese technician, Sergio Conceiçao. Possible, but it's expensive.
The information was given yesterday. And if it is not unanimous, because some insist that this is difficult to achieve, the name of a potential successor puts additional pressure on Antoine Kombouaré. In this case, it is a well-known name at FC Nantes: Sergio Conceiçao, who came during the 2016-2017 season and allowed the Canaries at the time to finish the season in 7th place in L1.
For Kombouaré, things are clear: his team must not lose in its next two matches, against Stade Rennais and Brest. Under penalty of going out the door. But as the daily newspaper l'Equipe points out in today's edition, there is already a serious downside to the departure of the Frenchman and the arrival of the Portuguese: money. FC Nantes, which must pay in the coming weeks, close to 800,000 euros to its former coach, Pierre Aristouy, should release 3 million euros for the dismissal of Kombouaré and his staff. Significant sum to which it will be necessary to add enough to pay Conceiçao and his staff.
Stade Rennais and Brest as arbiters of the case
When we know that President Waldemar Kita had to put back into the pot recently, almost 30 million, to balance the books, we can wonder if he also wants to invest in a new position. The only certainty is that victories for the Canaries against Stade Rennais and Brest would undermine the record. And would save Waldemar Kita money…
