FC Nantes hoped to confirm their victory against Rennes against Brest. As a result, the Canaries took a slap and the future of Antoine Kombouaré is once again very uncertain.
Nantes will spend the winter break in 14th place in Ligue 1, which is a lesser evil for a team which cannot string together good performances. But, we must not be fooled, if Waldemar Kita's club is not in the red zone, it is because behind him, there are teams with even worse weakness. Antoine Kombouaré knows it, if the victory against Rennes took a little pressure off him, the rout at Brest revives all the speculations about his future. But the Kanak coach hit the mark when his personal situation was mentioned: “ I'm going to answer you for the hundredth time: ask the people concerned. Me, as long as I don't tell me to stop, I'm here, ready to fight », Confided Kombouaré. Behind the scenes, the shadow of Sergio Conceiçao is back, reveals The Team.
Conceiçao in Nantes, the file is not moving forward
The name of the Portuguese coach, currently free, had floated a few weeks ago, Waldemar Kita being a fan of Sergio Conceiçao. But this Monday, the sports daily explains that Kombouaré's future will be decided quickly by the boss of FC Nantes and his son. “ The question of Kombouaré's future returned after recent results had offered him a reprieve. The trip to Brest was expected in high places, and what was produced did not help to reassure. A point must be made during the truce while the shadow of Conceiçao still looms, even if the file has not progressed (…) If the FCN spends the holidays above the red zone, it could well address the new year with a new coach », Warns the journalist from the sports daily.
