Good atmosphere in the corridors of the Beaujoire on Sunday evening.
A few minutes earlier, FC Nantes has just bowed on its lawn (1-2) against Montpellier.
A defeat which forces the Canaries to play a dam against Toulouse, third in Ligue 2, to try to save his skin in Ligue 1. The prospect annoys the Nantes president Waldemar Kita, who then crosses his former coach Michel Der Zakarian, winner for his last on the Hérault bench.
"So, are you happy?"
“, Launches the leader, according to statements reported by Ouest France.
"Yes, I'm happy for you, not for FC Nantes," replied tit for tat "MDZ", former player of the Canaries and coach of Nantes twice (2007-2008 and 2012-2016).
Since Michel Der Zakarian's second visit, relations between the president, contested by many supporters, and the technician are very heated.
In 2017, Waldemar Kita had tackled his former coach on the set of Canal + Sport to a question about his various coaches, including that of the time Claudio Ranieri.
“You compare the high level with a level that is a little lower.
Claudio Ranieri was still voted the best coach in the world.
Excuse me, but you compare a Mercedes with a two-horsepower.
"
A comparison on which Andy Delort did not fail to bounce back after the victory of Montpellier.
"Invest in the 2 CV", launched on Twitter the attacker, accompanying his post with a photo of this old car in the colors of the MHSC.
