This Thursday, FC Nantes organized a press conference to present its new goalkeeper, Anthony Lopes, who arrived from Olympique Lyonnais. On the sidelines of this, Antoine Kombouaré returned to the media treatment reserved for him in recent weeks.
The Kanak technician is extremely angry with the journalists who announced that his days on the Canaries sidelines were numbered. “Excuse me, I’m going to ask you not to interrupt mehe began his monologue. I’m going to do something that will surprise you. In any case, that’s what I am. Where will I start? You’ve written a lot of things. I didn’t take it into account because it was a difficult situation for the club and for me. But so, it was normal given the results. I made a decision today, you will quickly understand why, you journalists must also question yourselves. That’s my point of view, you’re not going to agree but I don’t really care. »
Kombouaré leaves the press conference
Obviously very resentful, the former defender continues:
“What bothers me a lot is that you were unanimous and above all categorical on the fact that today I will no longer be the coach of FC Nantes. Everyone, everyone here in the room. There was only one person who apologized. I would have liked to expect from you either writings to the effect that you were wrong because you were completely wrong. If I stay there, I will be unpleasant and even mean because I don’t want to be there. You wrote anything and everything. You messed up, I’ll let you work and I’ll retire! It can’t happen like that, without consequences. In the past, I fined journalists when I disagreed with them, but today, here you are. So okay… I’m just withdrawing. Happy New Year everyone and thank you! “.
Following the poor results of FC Nantes, currently fourteenth in Ligue 1, Antoine Kombouaré was almost dismissed from his position. Habib Beye was tipped to replace him. Ultimately, Kanak was retained in his post and Ahmed Kantari was recruited to become his deputy.
