Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Antoine Kombouaré is still the coach of FC Nantes today and he should remain so until the end of the season. However, it was not won just a few days ago. In fact, Kanak's dismissal was announced throughout the press, which was clearly not appreciated by the person concerned. So, this Thursday, Kombouaré wanted to settle scores with the media.
On December 21, the Coupe de France meeting between Drancy and FC Nantes was announced as the last ofAntoine Kombouare on the Canaries bench. Indeed, the dismissal of Kanak seemed to have been confirmed and the search for his successor was underway. Finally, at Nanteswe went back and Kombouare was confirmed in his functions. However, he did not appreciate all the media treatment about his future and he made it clear this Thursday during a completely lunar press conference.
“There was only one person who apologized”
Appearing at a press conference, Antoine Kombouare had a particular message to convey to journalists. In comments reported by RMCthe coach of FC Nantes thus settled scores with the press, blurting out: “ Excuse me, I will ask you not to interrupt me. I'm going to do something that will surprise you. At least that's what I am. Where will I start? The week following the defeat against Brest and then we worked for a week to prepare for the Coupe de France match, a lot of things happened. You have written a lot of things. I didn't take it into account because it was a difficult situation for the club and for me. But so, it was normal given the results ». Antoine Kombouare then added: “ I made a decision today, you will quickly understand why, you journalists must also question yourselves. That's my point of view, you're not going to agree but I don't really care. What bothers me a lot is that you have all been unanimous and above all categorical on the fact that today I will no longer be the coach of FC Nantes. Everyone, everyone here in the room. There was only one person who apologized. I would have liked to expect from you either writings to the effect that you were wrong because you were completely wrong. I say it like that because that's how I feel. But nothing happened. No phone calls, at least to apologize or to explain. From there I told myself that you act as if I wasn't there. So if I'm not there, I'm not the coach of FC Nantes as it was inconceivable for you that I would be present today. Afterwards this is the information and the sources that you had but this is what I saw, felt and this is what I understood. So for me it can't happen like that ».
“If I stay here, I tell you, I will be unpleasant”
And the coach of FC Nantes didn't stop there. More angry than ever against the journalists, he then ended his press conference, blurting out: “ If I stay here, I tell you, I will be unpleasant and I will even be mean. Because there are things… But I don't want to be here for this press conference. So you're going to act as if I wasn't there, like the week before the Coupe de France match when you wrote everything and anything. And you messed up so it can't happen like that, without consequences, in my opinion. In the past when I was not happy with certain journalists, I fined them and they did not come to press conferences. But today you are here, I let you work, but I simply withdraw. Thank you ladies and gentlemen and happy new year to all. THANKS ».
