The heavy defeat of FC Nantes against Brest (4-1) this Sunday revived questions about the future of Antoine Kombouaré. Already weakened by an irregular start to the season, the Kanak coach finds himself in a delicate position while his team seems short of solutions. However, the Nantes coach remains combative and refuses to give in to pressure.
A speech of determination
At a press conference, Kombouaré responded sharply to rumors concerning his future. “As long as I'm not told to stop, I'm here to fight,” he said, inviting journalists to ask the question directly to the club's management. Aware of his team's current weaknesses, particularly defensively, he stressed the importance of restoring confidence to his players. According to him, match performances do not reflect the work put in in training.
A future on hold
Despite this determined posture, the future of Antoine Kombouaré remains uncertain. According to The Teamthe technician should remain on the bench at least until the Coupe de France match against Drancy, scheduled for Saturday evening. A meeting with management would be scheduled around Christmas to assess the situation and decide what to do next.
With a team in search of stability and supporters increasingly worried, the winter break could prove decisive for the future of the coach and FC Nantes.
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
