Overview
- Reports indicate Ahmed Kantari, previously Antoine Kombouaré’s assistant, is expected to take charge following Castro’s exit.
- Luis Castro’s dismissal came the same day he publicly rebuked journalists and denied any rift with club management in a heated media briefing.
- Nantes’ poor start includes just two wins and five draws in 15 league matches, with the latest 2-1 home loss to Lens described as the last straw.
- President Waldemar Kita and director general Franck Kita made the decision to part ways with the 45-year-old coach, according to local reporting.
- Left-back Deiver Machado has joined as a winter ‘joker’ signing and will now arrive under the incoming coach rather than Castro.
