Eliminated by Lens on Wednesday in the 32nd of the Coupe de France, FC Nantes also made the news the announcement of the departure of Raymond Domenech, fired by President Waldemar Kita barely a month after his arrival.

Antoine Kombouaré, who should succeed him, will be the 4th coach to sit on the Canaries bench this season.

This is the sports editorial of Virginie Phulpin.

Raymond Domenech is no longer the coach of FC Nantes.

He was sacked after just over a month in office.

But for you, the Nantes problem is not Raymond Domenech, it is President Waldemar Kita.  

This Waldemar Kita is strong.

In one month, he managed to make Raymond Domenech pass from the ideal culprit of French football to the victim that we want to hug to tell him that it is not his fault.

Nice performance.

Domenech has achieved absolutely nothing in Nantes.

Eight matches, four draws, four losses, no wins, no progress in the game, nothing.

He leaves FC Nantes in a pitiful 18th place in the league.

It would be easy to be ironic about his qualities as a coach.

But how could it have been otherwise in this galley?

The day Wednesday gives us a good overview of how the club is run, or rather not run.

The Canaries faced RC Lens in the Coupe de France.

Raymond Domenech was not on the bench, because of a positive then negative Covid test.

Even the tests lose their compass.

When the players entered the field, they had already seen on social networks that their coach was fired.

But they had no official confirmation.

Even the substitute coach of the day was unaware, except through the press.

Ideal before a game.

Result, what a surprise, the Nantes people lost.

But frankly, it's difficult to blame this defeat on Raymond Domenech.

It is directly the defeat of the president.

Waldemar Kita tried a blow with the former coach of the Blues.

One more shot, one shot in the water.

We suspected it a little.

It will remain a snub for Raymond Domenech, and one more pathetic episode in the soap opera of a French football institution which is crumbling before our eyes.   

Antoine Kombouaré should be the new coach of FC Nantes.

We're going to wish him good luck.

He arrives at a club where the president eats coaches for breakfast.

Antoine Kombouaré will be the 18th since Waldemar Kita has joined FC Nantes.

The 4th of the season.

When you have more coaches than wins in a season, it may be that the problem is not with successive coaches.

Honestly, Waldemar Kita could bring in Pep Guardiola, he would find a way to soap the board and oust him by trying to make him wear the hat of a sinking Nantes ship.

It becomes urgent to look at yourself in the mirror.

Mr. Chairman, do you see the reflection in front of you?

Here is the problem.

Or he has to put on a tracksuit and go on the bench himself.

At the point where FC Nantes is at, Waldemar Kita would be the best guide to Ligue 2. So good luck to Antoine Kombouaré.

Good luck also to the Nantes supporters.

They will be able to bring out their music box to give rhythm to the training sessions of the Canaries.

The Kita Circus presents its new number.
