And three.
Like Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais, FC Nantes will have its third coach this season.
According to information from L'Équipe that we are able to confirm, Jocelyn Gourvennec, appointed on November 29, 2023 to replace Pierre Aristouy, will be disembarked in the coming days.
And his successor is neither more nor less than Antoine Kombouaré, himself dismissed by president Waldemar Kita at the end of last season.
The Kanak technician, who had just taken on a new role as consultant at Prime Video, will therefore return to the Canaries bench, which he had occupied between February 2021 and May 2023.
During his stay, he notably succeeded in a maintenance mission before leading the Nantes team to a victory in the Coupe de France, in 2022. Eventful, his last season was nevertheless marked by a good run in the Europa League, completed against the Juventus Turin in the round of 16, and a second final in the oldest French competition, lost against Toulouse.
Kombouaré on maintenance mission
Engaged in a more than complicated exercise, FC Nantes currently occupies 16th place in Ligue 1 and remains on six consecutive defeats at home in the league.
A situation which provokes the ire of the supporters, close to entering the pitch at the end of the match on Saturday against Strasbourg (1-3) after having, once again, demanded the resignation of President Kita and let off smoke bombs.
Gourvennec, who stayed a little less than four months at the head of the yellow and green club, has only won three victories in thirteen matches since his appointment.
Twelfth, four points behind the European places at the time of his arrival, Nantes has only fallen since and sees the specter of Ligue 2 getting dangerously closer.
Antoine Kombouaré's first mission will therefore be to keep the club in the first division for the eleventh consecutive season.
