After a promising start in Ligue 1, the FC Nantes is standing still. The Canaries have had a series of poor performances for two months. A bad spiral which caused the club to slide to the depths of the ranking.
In this context, Antoine Kombouaré’s situation is necessarily weakened. A historic figure in the FCN, Kombouaré made several appearances on the club bench, despite his stormy relationship with owner Waldemar Kita. Can he keep his job in the current situation? The question was asked to him.
Strong words from Kombouaré
The FC Nantes coach tries to ignore the context. “I know that we are not having good results and that I am on the front line. This is the responsibility of the leaders. Me, as long as I’m here, I work, explained Antoine Kombouaré. As long as no one tells me: ‘it’s over’, I’m here and happy, combative doing what I do every day.”
“I’m not telling you that I slept well (after the defeat against Le Havre 0-2, editor’s note), but I’m not wondering if I’m going to jump or not, continued Antoine Kombouaré. I’ve never received so many messages asking how I’m doing, but I’m fine. Sportingly, I’m not happy but I have a job and fantastic luck.”he concluded, before another difficult match against Paris Saint-Germain, this Saturday (9 p.m.).
