Will Antoine Kombouaré still be the coach of FC Nantes in 2025? The question has been tormenting all club lovers for several days. Returning home last season to save the Canaries who were already in a critical situation, the experienced technician, who had arrived a season earlier, remains motivated to continue his mission.
The defeat conceded in Brest this weekend (1-4) however weakened its situation a little more. After two convincing results against Paris Saint-Germain (1-1) and Stade Rennais (1-0), Kombaouré had bought credit and a certain serenity in the short term. But its management was also waiting for a misstep to justify a possible change. This will not take place this week.
Kombouaré will be on the bench next Saturday
Despite speculation about the future of Antoine Kombouaré, L’Equipe indicates that Waldemar Kita would have made the decision to keep the technician for the 32nd final of the Coupe de France, against the modest formation of Drancy, playing in National 3. This match will take place on Saturday in Saint-Ouen.
The sequel has not yet been decided, but the dice seem loaded. Still according to the French daily, the management of FC Nantes would have made Sergio Conceiçao its priority to succeed Kombouaré. Author of a notable stint on the club bench in 2017, the Portuguese technician has a high rating on the coaching market.
