The defeat against Le Havre, Sunday in a furious Beaujoire stadium, plunged Waldemar Kita's club into crisis. Antoine Kombouaré is in great danger.
Nothing is going well at FC Nantes, and this Monday, the supporters are waking up with a hell of a hangover. Now 16th in the Ligue 1 standings, the Canaries are adrift and based on what we saw on Sunday against the Upper Normandy club, nothing suggests that this can quickly improve. However, while Antoine Kombouaré did not really seem to be in danger, despite disastrous results this season, the situation has visibly evolved in recent hours on the Kita family side. West France thus specifies that from now on the management of FC Nantes “ wondered » on the future of the man who returned to the Nantes bench in March 2024 to replace Jocelyn Gourvennec. Information confirmed by local radio Hit West.
Kombouaré is in danger in Nantes
« According to our information, the management of FC Nantes has decided to consult around and is considering the opportunity to change coach in the coming days. The Canaries have three games left before the winter break: in Paris, against Rennes then at Brest », specifies Simon Reungoat regarding the future of Kombouaré. Even if Waldemar Kita is not the type to hesitate before firing a coach, the owner of FC Nantes knows that the departure of the current coach will have a significant financial cost, since the Kanak technician has a contract until June 2026 with his club. And if he wants to sack him immediately, then he will have to pay him in full for his commitment. But in the current state, it is difficult to see how the leaders will be able to avoid this, knowing that it is possible that Nantes ends the year 2024 with three more defeats given the calendar. On the Beaujoire side, the supporters are visibly waiting more for the departure of the Kita family than that of Antoine Kombouaré, but that's another story.
