“I hope Nantes will stay in Ligue 1 but some should shut up.
You have to know how to stay in your place at times because the stick comes back in your face sometimes ... ”In a press conference, after the setback (2-1) of the Canaries against Montpellier (which sends them into play-offs), Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian dropped this little sentence without further explanation.
Who was this little spade intended for?
To Waldemar Kita, the president of FC Nantes.
A spat in the hallway
And for good reason: at the end of the meeting, in the corridor leading to the locker room, Kita called out to Der Zakarian by throwing him, full of bitterness: "Are you happy Michel?"
"The Hérault coach then put him in the teeth:" I'm happy for you, but not for FC Nantes!
"
The two men know each other well.
Under the presidency of Kita, Der Zakarian was twice a coach from 2007 to 2008 and from 2012 to 2016 with two climbs in Ligue 1 to the key.
Despite this, in 2017, President Kita called it a Citroën 2CV in comparison with the Mercedes Ranieri.
