FC Nantes is preparing for a very turbulent end to the summer after an already worrying start to the season.
In football more than elsewhere, it is always dangerous to draw hasty conclusions. But in Waldemar Kita’s software, the notion of time is all relative. The boss of FC Nantes has often demonstrated his propensity to decide on the spot when the sporting situation becomes worrying.
In fact, FC Nantes is not yet in the red zone, but the Franco-Polish leader does not hide his concern in view of the turn of the summer. More than the raw result – an inaugural defeat against Toulouse (1-2), decidedly a pet peeve for the Canaries – it is the course of the summer which reinforces the concern in the Nantes ranks. The management of the club absolutely does not want to relive the scenario of last season, where the FCN had to wait for the last seconds of the 38th day to save its place in Ligue 1 by styling AJ Auxerre on the wire.
Kita would already have 2 names to replace Aristouy
This maintenance mission bore the signature of Pierre Aristouy. But water has flowed under the bridge since then. And the young technician, first confirmed in his duties, would now be in the hot seat according to information from L’Equipe. Kita would have set the match against Lille as an ultimatum to his coach. Such a quick start would be a considerable risk, but the names of Christophe Galtier or Frédéric Antonetti are already emerging as alternatives for the rest of this season.
