The last few days have been turbulent for Antoine Kombouaré, weakened by his management. The Kanak coach was finally reinforced, but certain changes envisaged by Waldemar and Franck Kita will have consequences on his future.
The 4-0 victory on the Drancy pitch in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France did Antoine Kombouaré a world of good. Comfortable in his position as coach of FC Nantes, the former PSG coach has had an eventful last few days. In particular, he saw his leaders go out of their way to convince Sergio Conceiçao then Habib Beye. But for different reasons, these two cases were unsuccessful. Waldemar Kita and his son Franck did not have a solid plan C under their belt, which is why they decided to keep Antoine Kombouaré in his post.
But according to information from The Teamthe Nantes staff still intends to make some changes which will have consequences on the future of the 61-year-old coach in Loire-Atlantique. The national daily reveals in particular in its today's edition that the idea of the Nantes board is to carry out a major internal reorganization, with several changes in the technical staff of the first team. Historical assistants of Antoine Kombouaré for more than ten years, Yves Bertucci (senior assistant), Michel Dufour (physical trainer) and Willy Grondin (goalkeeper coach) are threatened.
Three Kombouaré deputies in the hot seat?
The objective of Franck and Waldemar Kita is to make some changes in order to “to bring more pep” internally. A triple blow, if this were to be confirmed, for Antoine Kombouaré who could therefore stay in Nantes but find himself weakened with the loss of his deputies. The squad could also change at the break, and again this would not be good news for the coach of the Canaries, who could notably lose his young central defender Nathan Zézé, courted in the Bundesliga and the Premier League and who could leave in the event of proposal reaching 20 million euros. The winter will therefore be very hot in Nantes and particularly for Antoine Kombouaré, who does not yet know precisely with whom he will resume in 2025.
