Beaten Saturday night in Nice, FC Nantes has only had one victory since the start of the Ligue 1 season and is not at best in 2020. Christian Gourcuff responds to rumors of imminent dismissal.
Even before the trip from Nantes to the Allianz Riviera, noises evoked an increasingly complicated situation for Christian Gourcuff on the Canaries bench. Because it is obvious, it does not run terribly well on the side of Beaujoire, where the start of the 2020-2021 season looks more and more like the end of the 2019-2020 championship. So inevitably, after the Nantes defeat in Nice, the FC Nantes coach was questioned about these rumors that persist concerning his immediate future. Christian Gourcuff, who knows better than anyone the harshness of this profession, preferred to refer everyone to Waldemar Kita, the only decision-maker in this story.
« If I feel threatened, under pressure? No. If you listen to all the gossip, whatever lies around. After that it’s part of the game. The team, at this level, gave all the answers. Then you have to address the president. It’s just that it annoys, all of that. In these situations, which I have experienced quite often, you lose your concentration. Everyone loses some, and we think less », Confided, in Ocean Press, Christian Gourcuff, aware that his opinion is nothing compared to the choices of a Waldemar Kita who in the past has shown that his patience has limits, especially with his coaches. In its next two games, FC Nantes will face Brest and Lens, the Canaries have every interest in taking points under penalty of clearly putting Gourcuff under pressure.
