Though the dismissal of Antoine Kombouare has not been formalised, there is a feeling that the win over AS Saint-Etienne was Kombouare’s last moment with Paris Saint-Germain. However, many people in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 have been angered by the unceremonious ousting
of the Frenchman.
With fleeting reports in French media suggesting that the hammer has fallen on Paris Saint-Germain coach Antoine Kombouare, many former players, coaches and presidents involved in French football have been angered by the treatment of the Kanak coach.
First it was the turn of Antoine Kombouare’s management company, UNECATEF who expressed their shock at the dismissal of Kombouare.
“The UNECTEF formally condemns the dismissal of Antoine Kombouare and his deputies by the management of PSG. All coaches, technicians and managers in France can only be indignant about the fate of one of their own who was under pressure for several months
by the new management of the club and nevertheless succeeded through his work and qualities that were appreciated by his team to make PSG the champions of the first half of the 2011/2012 campaign.”
However, it seems that Kombouare has received a lot of support from former colleagues, analysts and opposition managers and presidents.
Former PSG and Newcastle Untied man, Laurent Blanc said that it is hard for him to understand why he (Kombouare) was fired. Meanwhile, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 sporting director Jose Anigo was also shocked by the firing and said that it is very strange to
see Kombouare go after he finished the year so strongly with PSG and has always been a good man.
Anigo also said that this sacking would make a lot of people angry in football.
Certainly, the manner of the firing was unceremonious to say the least after all the pressure that was put on Kombouare in recent months.
Antoine Kombouare’s future at the club had been under serious scrutiny since the first day of the new campaign as the club owners and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 were desperate to bring in a high-profile coach to the Parc des Princes.
Reports suggest that Carlo Ancelotti might be given the managerial http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 and the Italian needs to deliver for the club in order to win over many PSG fans who are not happy about the sacking of a coach who played for PSG for almost five years and even won the
Ligue 1 with them.
