It's a total crisis at FC Nantes!

It’s a dramatic series that FC Nantes has been suffering for weeks. 16th in Ligue 1 and already in a play-off place, the Canaries have not won in 9 L1 matches. Dominated and beaten by Le Havre (0-2), at La Beaujoire, the Nantais did not exist throughout the game, especially at the start of the match after an opening score conceded after three minutes. “We were never able to get into their penalty area, to create differences, gaps. It’s a bad evening. We weren’t able to shake up this Le Havre team, which was at the same level as us.”Antoine Kombouaré reacted quickly after the defeat.

the catastrophic results of Antoine Kombouaré

And obviously, Antoine Kombouaré is the most in danger. Since his return in March, he has only obtained 0.9 points/game since his return to the Nantes bench last March (4 wins, 6 draws, 10 losses), the lowest ratio among Nantes coaches with at least 20 matches played, according to west france. “I hate complaining, we have to find solutions with the staff. I want to find them, I've always been a fighter, it's my job. The rest doesn't belong to me.”he reacted about his future.

While he is still under contract until 2026, his place is therefore not assured, although a dismissal would cost Waldemar Kita money. But according to The Teamhis players and management are still behind him. Sunday evening, the Nantes management would have agreed for him to continue his mission, despite the immense anger of the supporters, who interrupted the meeting twice: “From the management to the players, you are just tourists… Welcome to Football Club Med de Nantes”explained the supporters via a banner in the stands, while some tried to enter the pitch in front of the CRS for around thirty minutes.

The fans can't take it anymore

“They expressed it in their own way, I don’t necessarily have a reaction to that. Personally, it doesn't affect me because I'm focused on results. It's complicated enough as it is not to concentrate on anything else. It’s normal (…) We will report at the end of the season. I don't think we're tourists. I'm inside, I know that everyone is giving 100% and that everyone is affected.Alban Lafont reacted after the meeting.

Although this is not the first autumn crisis for FC Nantes, used to going through difficult periods at this time of the year. “It hurts but at the same time they are absolutely right. Their reaction is normal given the matches we are having at the moment. They do what they want.”explained Antoine Kombouaré, understanding the general anger. And while the match resumed after the scuffles against an almost empty Nantes kop, west france adds that the club could be summoned this Wednesday by the disciplinary committee and already fears a sanction for the reception of Rennes, on Sunday December 8. The crisis is far from over before a schedule which promises to be chaotic with a trip to PSG (Saturday), the reception of Rennes, a trip to Brest (December 15), another to Lille (January 5), before Monaco (January 12).
