Targeted by FC Nantes coach, Antoine Kombouaré, for announcing his dismissal, several media responded to the coach.
First completely lunar press conference, this afternoon, at FC Nantes!

Kanak was therefore not the victim of a rumor launched by journalists but rather the protagonist of a change desired by its leaders…
