Inside Nantes: From Hope to Despair - A Season of Struggles

Listen on

Episode notes

Nantes season mirrors a rollercoaster ride. Early success—7 points from 9—raised hopes

for midtable stability. Dreams shattered quickly. Winless between September and December beckons a relegation battle.

This pattern echoes recent years. Last season, relegation loomed until Antoine Kombouaré, their rehired ex-manager, orchestrated a miraculous escape.

Despite tensions with president Waldemar Kita, Kombouaré answered the call.

Now, history may repeat. Will Kombouaré save Nantes again?

Or will Kita sack him once more? The club teeters on a familiar precipice, caught between hope and despair. Nantes future remains uncertain. Past seasons offer

conflicting precedents.

As the drama unfolds, we turn to Paul Reeve, a man deeply connected to the French club, for insight into their precarious situation.
