• Beginning of the return matches for Nantes with the reception of Monaco, now coached by Philippe Clément.

  • After Saint-Etienne, this is the second time in a row that Nantes have faced a team with a new coach at its head.

  • A situation not always easy to manage for the opposing coaches.

Another new one! After Pascal Dupraz's AS Saint-Etienne, it's now Monaco's turn. Because this Sunday, FC Nantes will face another team with a new coach at its head: the Belgian Philippe Clément. Not easy to navigate for Nantes, when it comes to analyzing the tactics and the game of his opponent. If a match is not played on the sidelines, its preparation can be turned upside down with the arrival of a new coach.

Even if it is difficult to say that the Monegasques were doing badly, to the point of seeing Niko Kovac sacked, the change of coach can create a click in the locker room.

Certainly the effect expected by the Principality's club management.

And Antoine Kombouaré, the FCN coach, knows it well.

“Who says change of coach, says new speech, can be a new tactical scheme.

With necessarily different motivation from the players, who will want to win their place ”.

So, good or bad time to face them?

“We have already played Saint-Etienne who had changed coaches.

But we will first focus on us.

Change of coach or not, we need points, ”said Nantes defender Nicolas Pallois.

"The obligation to win"

If the Nantes people know their strengths, those of AS Monaco remain, on the other hand, more complex to analyze from now on.

But the Nantes coach turned to his Monegasque counterpart.

“I watched Philippe Clément's first interviews, as well as a few matches when he was in Bruges.

He's a coach who wants to be dominant.

He wants to take the game for himself ”.

A result is expected on the side of the management of ASM, and this scenario does not displease the Kanak coach.

"I tell myself that they come here with the obligation to win," he says, a bit mischievous.
