FC Nantes faces Ligue 2 pressure amid coaching rumors

FC Nantes faces significant pressure following a difficult start to their Ligue 2 campaign. After two consecutive defeats, the club finds itself at the bottom of the league standings. Ahead of their match against Rodez, rumors circulated regarding the potential replacement of manager Michel Der Zakarian. However, reports from L'Equipe indicate that club leadership, including Waldemar and Franck Kita, have not contacted any other coaches.

In preparation for the Rodez fixture, Der Zakarian has adjusted his starting lineup, notably benching Tylel Tati in favor of Saidou Sow.

Separately, EA Sports has released player ratings for FC Nantes in the upcoming FC 27 video game. Following the club's relegation, no players have been assigned a gold category rating; the highest-rated players, Maxime Dupé and Ibrahima Sissoko, are both in the silver category with a 74 rating.
