Estac will be back in Ligue 2 after a 4-0 defeat at Rennes. The club is owned by the City Football Group, whose flagship is Manchester City.
The City model does not take, but is not questioned, according to Erick Mombaerts, representative of the City Group within Estac. Coach Patrick Kisnorbo remains on several months of catastrophic results, with zero wins and four points taken over the last 17 days of Ligue 1. The Australian continues to have the confidence of the club and its president, Aymeric Magne.
