Appointed on August 8, Christian Gourcuff signed a one-year contract with FC Nantes. Two months later, there is already talk of an extension. "Today, even if the length of the extension is not stopped, the President (Waldemar Kita, N.D.L.R.) and Christian Gourcuff, who are of the same generation (they are 65 and 64 respectively) and who share the same philosophy, agreed to prolong the adventure together ", said Franck Kita in an interview at West France Wednesday. "The coach feels good here, we feel good with him. The rest is only administrative ", adds the managing director of FC Nantes.

Christian Gourcuff will see his prerogatives expanded. "He will become the head of the sports sector," announces Franck Kita, who explains what he expects from his coach: "He will put in place, thanks to his know-how and his experience, a global sports policy. We will try to put back in place, which was not easy for many reasons with previous coaches, which was done at the time: a uniformity of style and play, pros down to the little ones. "

FC Nantes have an excellent start to the season: they are second in Ligue 1 after nine days.
