Waldemar Kita is in advanced discussions with Sergio Conceição!

Nantes is at its worst. Accustomed to playing the fight for maintenance for several years, except during the 2021/2022 season, the Kita family club has only won two matches in the league since the start of the season and remained on four defeats in a row before take advantage of PSG's incredible inefficiency to bring home a point from the Parc des Princes. Seventeenth and penultimate in the ranking, the FCN can tremble.

Indeed, it should be remembered that Waldemar Kita had inducted him under similar conditions in December 2016, following the departure of René Girard. Nantes was then 19th in Ligue 1 and Conceição had managed in six months to glean 12 wins and 5 draws, which sent the FCN to the gates of Europe. The Lusitanian had won over everyone, but while he had extended his contract by two years in April 2017, Conceição left the FCN a month later to return home and take charge of FC Porto.
