The Ligue 1 team said in a statement that Aristouy was relieved of his duties, with his replacement to be announced later in th🦹e day.
Sports 🎀daily L'Equipe reported that Nantes has reached an agreement in principle with former Lille coach Jocelyn Gourvennec.
“Nantes would par𓃲ticularly like to thank Pierre 🅘Aristouy and his staff, who put all their human qualities and talent at the service of the club. Appreciated by all, they helped the club to maintain its position at the end of last season,” the club said.
Nante𓄧s was in 17th place in the league, with four of the 20 clubs getting relegated last season, when Aristouy took over from Antoine Kombouaré with four league games left to ಌplay.
This season, the club got off to a poor start but Ari♏stouy had managed to put the team back on track before a four-match winless run — including three defeats — left Nantes in 11th place, 15 points behind lead🔯er Paris Saint-Germain.
