New statement noted for Antoine Kombouaré

Featured as one of the faces of FC Nantes in recent years, Antoine Kombouaré has known everything with the Canaries. Winner of the French Cup in 2022, the Kanak technician was also on the verge of relegation with the FCN, particularly last season. Before his team resumed, Antoine Kombouaré spoke about his status on the banks of the Erdre.

Again last season, FC Nantes came close to moving into Ligue 2 from next August. However, the people of Nantes were able to do what was necessary at the end of the 2023-2024 financial year to avoid a dramatic outcome. After the return of Antoine Kombouaré to succeed Jocelyn Gourvennec, a new chapter begins for the Canaries. The latter will be opposed to Toulouse FC at La Beaujoire when the championship resumes on August 18. During this transfer period, the FC Nantes coach gave an interview to a YouTuber and spoke about the image he sends to Nantes.

Kombouaré deplores his status as a firefighter on duty

This week, the FC Nantes coach gave an interview to YouTuber Foot Farid and Co. On this occasion, Antoine Kombouaré wanted to clarify his image and returned to the portrait often painted of him. Regularly described as a “leader of men”, the former PSG coach retorts: ” It’s very reductive. I started coaching professionally in 2003… I’ve been at the highest level for over 20 years. I am above all a technician. I like offensive play. If I last over time, it is because there is regularity in my work. I like managing people, I like teams that have character, personality ».

As one of the most capped coaches in the French championship, Antoine Kombouaré appears confident in his strengths and is well aware that his work is recognized in high-level football: ” My way of working is often reduced to being a firefighter on duty. I let people talk… what is certain is that today I continue to work and that someone is coming to pick me up. I am happy in what I do ».
