Raymond Domenech and his supporters took for their rank after the qualification of FC Nantes for the final of the Coupe de France.
Thanks WHO ? Thank you Antoine Kombouaré! The Kanak trainer is the great architect of the revival of FC Nantes, who is having an unexpected season.
A year ago, the former PSG coach succeeded Raymond Domenech at the bedside of an FCN which remained on 18 matches without a win. With few reinforcements (Descamps, Cyprien, Bukari and Geubbels arrived this summer, the young Merlin was promoted), and with executives who were already there under Domenech and previous coaches (Lafont, Girotto, Pallois, Chirivella, Blas, Simon, Kolo Muani…), Kombouaré managed to save the Canaries last season, and to take them to the final of the Coupe de France this seasonwhile achieving a fine championship (7th at present).
Kombouaré’s success allowed Johan Micoud to address a huge tackle to Domenech, in full live, during L’Equipe du Soir on Wednesday. “At the same time last year, I had heard that in Nantes, there was not too much quality in the team, recalled the former playmaker. Finally, with the coach who is in place, it looks pretty good. There are players who are highlighted. There is rather quality in this team. »

Under the amused gaze of Dominique Séverac (one of Domenech’s enemies on the L’Equipe channel), Micoud attacked both Domenech and all those who tried to defend him by pointing out the supposed weakness of the Nantes squad.
Some Internet users have indeed found a sequence where, on the set of Estelle Denis, Dominique Grimault flies to the aid of Domenech. It was February 2, 2021. “I don’t know if Domenech can change anything, estimated then Dominique Grimault. You put any coach, even Klopp, even Mourinho, maybe they will go up two places. » It was on Kombouaré that we had to bet…
🐥 Should we be afraid for Nantes tonight? @dominicgrimault : “I don’t know if Domenech can change anything…” 🙄#EDE @lachainelequipe pic.twitter.com/5UrnH10bdu
