Ousted after another defeat for FC Nantes against Strasbourg (1-3), last Saturday, Jocelyn Gourvennec was replaced by Antoine Kombouaré. The Canaries formalized the return of the Kanak coach this Tuesday.

“Antoine Kombouaré is back on the banks of the Erdre. In love with the club, the one which gave him the chance for his first professional steps and under which he played more than 200 matches in all competitions between 1983 and 1990, the Caledonian agreed to take on a new challenge in the City of the Dukes of Brittany “announces the FCN in a press release.

Antoine Kombouaré will be accompanied by Guillaume Marie and Yves Bertucci (assistants) as well as Michel Dufour (physical trainer).
