âIf this keeps up, it will end up like Bordeauxâ â Waldemar Kita paints a bleak picture for FC Nantes
FC Nantes owner Waldemar Kita is seriously pessimistic regarding his clubâs future as Les Canarisare heading straight to Ligue 2 in the coming weeks. Nantes, who were in the UEFA Europa League knockout stage only three years ago, are second-to-last in the Ligue 1 standings and 5 points adrift of 16th-placed Auxerre.
In a wide-ranging to **Eurosport,**Kita says it is impossible for him to enjoy owning FC Nantes. The 72-year-old businessman and his son â Franck, the clubâs deputy CEO â are deeply unpopular among the clubâs fanbase since their 2007 takeover. Kitaâs projects of a new stadium and a new training ground have both been turned down by the City.
When asked why he doesnât put up the club for sale, Kita answers heâs a professionnal who respects people with who heâs working. âI could abandon everyone first thing tomorrow, but that wonât be honest. I canât continue working in this environment. If this keeps up, it will end up like Bordeaux.â
Girondins de Bordeaux â a French football giant â are currently in the fourth-tier after a couple of sporting and administrative relegations due to poor management.
