The FC Nantes, one of the most historic clubs in French football and eight-time French championis close to consummating a tragic relegation to the Second division French. A category in which Nantes has only played eight seasons throughout its history.
The ‘canaries’ They are penultimate after 30 days championship. With 20 points, they are five behind Auxerre, the team that marks the position of playout to Ligue 2, and nine from Nice, which marks salvation in these moments. With four wins, it is the second Ligue 1 team with the fewest wins. The management of Valdemar Kita at the head of the club has been reducing the sporting possibilities of a team that It has only won one important title (Coupe de France 2023) in the last two decades.
The last chapter of his management was the hiring of Vahid Halilhodzic73 years old, in charge of Nantes. The veteran Bosnian coach replaced Ahmed Kantari in March with the aim of getting Nantes out of the woods. However, Halilhodzic’s choice has left much to be desired. The technician born in Jablanica He has coached his team in five games.. Your baggage: three draws and two defeats. But the thing doesn’t end there.
Last weekend, at the meeting that faced his team against Stade Brest, Nantes conceded the tying goal in the last minute after one of his players, Dehmaine Tabibou, was sent off after a controversial action being last man. Halilhodzic was expelled after the protest to the referee of the match Guillaume Paradis. The protest did not only stop on the playing field, but continued in the mixed zone. “The referee told me: ‘You shouldn’t talk too much because you could get suspended.’ But I don’t care, they could even sanction me for 10 years because I no longer want to continue in football.. But when I see injustices like this, I react. I called him to explain why they gave me the red card. There has to be a little respect. Who does this man think he is?“said the technician.
Although his complaints have had effect (the disciplinary committee has removed Tabibou’s red card), Halilhodzic’s words were sanctioned with four games. Therefore, He will not be able to lead his team again until the last daywhen it is most likely that Nantes has already consummated its mathematical relegation to Ligue 2. Their calendar until the end of the season It will face three teams from the upper zone such as Rennes, Marseille and Lensand will end the season at home against Toulouse. Things are not looking good in Nantes.
