He will not have resisted the long series without success of FC Nantes current 17th and first relegation. Antoine Kombouaré is the 13th coach to be sacked this season. FC Nantes formalized this Tuesday afternoon its replacement by Pierre Aristouy, supported by Oswaldo Vizcarrondo.
In detail, no less than ten L1 formations have activated this lever. In chronological order, there was Lyon (Bosz, October 9), Auxerre (Furlan, October 11), Reims (Garcia, October 13), Montpellier (Dall’Oglio, October 17; then Pitau on February 7) , Troyes (Irles, 8 November), Angers (Baticle, 24 November; Bouhazama, 7 March), Brest (Der Zakarian), Strasbourg (Stéphan, 9 January; Le Scornet 13 February), Nice (Favre, 9 January) and therefore Nantes this Tuesday, May 9. In Brest, Auxerre and Troyes, 3 club technicians (Grougi, Padovani and Robin) even acted as interim manager before the appointment of the new coach.
This is the record score for the French championship, tied with that of the 2015-2016 season. As in that season, ten clubs had then resorted to a change of coach – Marseille, Lille, Troyes, Lyon, Montpellier, Rennes, Bastia, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Reims. Marseille (Bielsa, Michel), Montpellier (Courbis, Baills) and Troyes (Furlan, Robin) had even changed twice. During the 2004-2005 season eleven clubs (Ajaccio, Bastia, Bordeaux, Caen, Istres, Lens, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, PSG and Strasbourg) changed coaches. Istres had even done it twice (Bazdarevic, Gravelaine).
These last few months have been the scene of singular situations, such as in Montpellier where three technicians have succeeded each other on the bench, Dall’Oglio, Pitau, then Der Zakarian – with a certain happiness in the end, the MHSC having quietly validated its maintenance in the ‘elite. “Ligue 1 was particularly shaken by this anxiety of the four relegated at the end of the season (due to the transition to 18 clubs next season), estimated Raymond Domenech, president of Unecatef, the union of French graduate coaches, in the columns of the Team last month. There was an entry panic, where the clubs wanted to do something before it was too late. »
The trend seems to be generalizing in Europe. With 13 coaches sacked, the French championship is on a par with the Premier League, where the financial stakes of a presence in the elite are even greater than in France.
In the 21st century there is no season without departure or change of coach in L1. The three most “stable” seasons, with only three coaches replaced throughout the year, were 2014-2015 and 2009-2010 and 2005-2006.
