French club Nantes has decided to dismiss its coach Michel Der Zakarian following the team's declining results recently, as well as its unsatisfactory performance since the start of the Ligue 2 season.
Nantes suffered several defeats since the league campaign began, losing first to Red Star, then to Laval, and most recently to Rodez, prompting the club's management to see the coach's departure as the solution.
Nantes' coach is close to leaving
The newspaper "L'Équipe" reported that Michel Der Zakarian's departure has become likely following recent results, with Grégory Poirier expected to replace him in leading the team for the current season.
Nantes' stumble in two home matches and one away game was shocking for the French club, leading to the decision to part ways with coach Der Zakarian, whose influence on the team has been absent over the last three matches.
Meanwhile, Mostafa Mohamed missed the pre-season preparation with his team, resulting in the decision to exclude him from participating with Nantes at present, which has indeed occurred during the team's recent matches this season.
