The more FC Nantes sinks, if not into crisis, at least into the depths of the sports rankings, the more Antoine Kombouaré is in the hot seat. And the closer the Kanak technician is to the exit, the more the names of his potential successors are whispered; At the moment, Sergio Conceiçao is the one who fuels them the most.
This is a point of view from France, because the Portuguese coach, after seven seasons spent on the bench of FC Porto, wanted to offer himself a new challenge and therefore terminated his contract. Free since, he is not only interested in FC Nantes. On the other side of the Channel in particular, other coaches like Kombouaré have been weakened or have been sidelined. And the name of Conceiçao also circulates to replace them.
In the United Kingdom also the name Conceiçao circulates with more or less consistency
Since in the United Kingdom this type of market is permitted, the question of the Portuguese’s next club is raised. FC Nantes is not even mentioned, only English tracks are advanced. But none where the 50-year-old former winger is the first favorite. At best, he is an outsider for the position at West Ham where Julen Lopetegui is on very unfavorable waivers. Conceiçao’s odds are currently six to one.
It climbs to 25 to one at Southampton and 33 for Wolverhampton Wanderers, two clubs which have just separated from their coaches; Russell Martin and Gary O’Neil respectively.
