Nantes consider parting ways with Antoine Kombouaré | OneFootball

FC Nantes once again secured their safety in Ligue 1, but once again, they did it the hard way. Their safety was ensured on the final day of the season thanks to a 3-0 win over already-relegated Montpellier HSC. The three points saw Les Canaris jump to 13th, however, they also finish just three points ahead of 16th-placed Stade de Reims, who will compete in the relegation play-off later this month.

At best, it has been another middling season, and L’Équipe understands that Nantes plan to part ways with manager Antoine Kombouaré. The club’s management wished to do the same back in December, too, but could not find a suitable replacemnt.

However, Kombouaré is now close to the exit door at Nantes. Les Canaris are already lining up replacements, according to L’Équipe. Pierre Sage, out of work since leaving Olympique Lyonnais earlier this season, is a target, as is Luis Castro, who failed to bring USL Dunkerque up to Ligue 1.
