After the recorded return of Antoine Kombouaré, an announcement about the technician's future was made this Tuesday.
This is information that had the effect of a small bomb on Sunday: less than a year after his departure, Antoine Kombouaré returns to the FC Nantes bench to try to save the club's place in the 'elite.
The Kanak technician was officially presented this Tuesday, and he explained the reasons which convinced him to accept this mission. “Because it’s Nantes. I spent my best years as a coach here, it was short (from February 2021 to May 2023) but very intense. We had the chance to experience great emotions. It was a surprise when Franck (Kita) called me on Saturday evening, I didn't think I would come back here, even less come back so soon given my relationship with the president. When they ask me if I'm ready to dive back in, I say yes, I know I'm on a mission, we have eight matches to win. »
Kombouaré, already an announcement about its future!
“ I already know the club, this is even shorter because we have eight matches ahead of us and not fourteen. It's different also because I know 17 of the 25 players. I arrive with knowledge of the facts, even if it is not a guarantee of success“, continued Antoine Kombouaré.
But given the instability that reigns within the FCN, a question torments the club's followers: will Kombouaré be there for the long term? The latter quickly lifted the suspense. “If Nantes holds up I’ll stay here. It's the same contract as the first time. It is stipulated that I stay in the event of retention. In the event of a descent, I would have failed in my mission so I would not stay. If Nantes holds up I will stay here. It's the same contract as the first time. It is stipulated that I stay in the event of retention. In the event of a descent, I would have failed in my mission so I would not stay. »
