Nantes Mull Coaching Shift: Conceição Discussions Resume, Kombouaré’s Role in Question

FC Nantes finds itself at a crossroads regarding its managerial situation. Antoine Kombouaré’s tenure has been precarious in recent weeks, and the team’s recent 4-1 loss to Stade Brestois has further jeopardized his position.

Despite the uncertainty, Kombouaré is expected to lead the team in their upcoming Coupe de France match against fourth-tier La Jeane d’Arc de Drancy. This fixture marks Nantes’ final game before a brief winter hiatus, with Ligue 1 set to resume in early January.

However, Kombouaré’s future beyond this weekend remains uncertain. Reports indicate that Nantes has rekindled discussions with former manager Sérgio Conceição, although negotiations are still in progress. The club’s leadership appears to be leaning towards replacing Kombouaré with Conceição if an agreement can be reached. Conceição, who parted ways with FC Porto over the summer, is currently available.

The coming days will likely provide more clarity on the managerial situation at FC Nantes, as the club weighs its options to improve performance and results.
