FC Nantes fire Antoine Kombouare, appoint Pierre Aristouy!

Currently 17th in the French Ligue 1, FC Nantes and Antoine Kombouaré have decided by mutual agreement to terminate the contract. Pierre Aristouy takes charge of the first team with the objective of keeping the club in Ligue 1. He will be assisted by Oswaldo Vizcarrondo.

FC Nantes would particularly like to thank Antoine Kombouaré. A true leader, the coach managed to keep the club in Ligue 1 at the end of the 2020/21 season. He was also one of the great architects of the magnificent season achieved last season with a ninth place in the league and a France Cup triumph. A trophy that allowed the Yellow House to make its return to the European scene this season.

Emotions that will remain forever in the memory of FC Nantes lovers.

Trained at the club he joined in 1994, Pierre Aristouy played pro as a striker from 1998 to 2002, with a title of Champion of France in 2001, before leaving the Club des rives de l’Erdre in 2004.

He then returned to FC Nantes as coach of the reserve team in the summer of 2017. Champion of N3, he won another title in N2, the following season.

In charge of the U-19s since the summer of 2021, he obtained last season the title of Champion of France.

Four matchdays before the end of the season, Pierre Aristouy will aim to ensure the maintenance of the Yellow House within the elite of French football.

He will be supported in his mission by Oswaldo Vizcarrondo, former central defender of the Canaries (2013-2017) and coach of the Club’s D2F since October 2022, Julien Le Pape and Teddy Pellerin in athletic preparation and Willy Grondin in goalkeeper training.
