Two months after the dismissal of Pierre Aristouy to restore order in the yellow house, the crisis arises again in Nantes, where Jocelyn Gourvennec is already a coach on borrowed time. The elimination on Saturday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, against Laval (L2, 0-1), confirms the very bad spiral of the FCN, expelled from an event which had constituted the common thread of its two previous seasons ( victory in 2022, finalist in 2023). Thirteenth in Ligue 1, his only horizon now is to maintain his position. And that will already be a lot for him, at the rate he is going. The setback against the fourth in Ligue 2 comes after four defeats in a row in the Championship. He first confirms that the new Nantes has become ossified by wanting to protect itself better.
