The “Kita Circus”: the quirky and very particular welcome from FC Nantes supporters to Domenech

It certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed. For his first training at the head of the first team of FC Nantes, Raymond Domenech could have dreamed of a quieter morning. The former coach of the Blues, formalized at the end of last week, was able with his team to note the dissatisfaction of Nantes supporters. The latter, members of the Loire Brigade, welcomed him to the center of La Jonelière with a circus-like enclosure, advertising the “Kita Circus”.

“A new puppet has just arrived at FC Nantes, the seventeenth in thirteen years“, could we hear in particular around the Nantes training center. The supporters wanted to mark the occasion by playing on the tone of humor, to symbolize their anger vis-à-vis the management, ridiculed. “Raymond Domenech will explain his vision of football to us, enough to make us laugh for the next weekends“notably spat the speakers on several occasions.

The president of FC Nantes Waldemar Kita, here parodied as a circus boss, is of course the primary target of these criticisms. “Stale-show (named after the influential agent close to the Nantes president) who will show you how to earn money on a Belgian player from 18th division“, “the cache-ton-dough or how to tube the taxman of 15 million euros“. Kita appeared at the end of the session surrounded by two bodyguards, to talk to the players and the entire staff.

No one was spared by the few FCN supporters present around the training center. The players also took it for their rank, the false advertisement of Mr. Loyal announcing a “animal number with eleven goats arranged a little everywhere on a green rectangle to pass the ball“The joke is obviously not over, especially for Abdoulaye Touré, the midfielder who had to be retained by his teammates when he wanted to explain himself to the Nantes fans, reported several media.

Before the official presentation of Raymond Domenech Thursday afternoon, the tension has therefore crossed an additional level between the Nantes management and its supporters.
