Paris FC are preparing for a managerial change, with Antoine Kombouaré’s future at the club increasingly uncertain, according to reports in Le Parisien. While officially under contract until June 2027, the former defender is reportedly seeking guarantees regarding the squad’s competitiveness and a contract extension, including a salary increase.
Kombouaré was appointed in March of this year and successfully guided Paris FC to Ligue 1 safety, avoiding relegation. However, negotiations regarding his long-term future appear to have stalled, with Le Parisien suggesting a departure is now the most likely outcome. The club is reportedly already exploring alternative options.
Several potential replacements have been identified by the club’s ownership and management, including Habib Beye and Bruno Genesio. However, Liam Rosenior is currently considered the frontrunner for the position, having reportedly submitted his application for the role. Rosenior has previously managed in the English Championship with Hull City, and is known for his tactical flexibility and focus on player development.
Paris FC’s search for a new manager comes as the club prepares for a takeover, expected to be finalized within the next week. The new ownership group will likely want to install their own manager to shape the team’s future direction. The situation highlights the instability at Paris FC, despite their successful fight against relegation last season. A swift resolution will be crucial to ensure stability and a focused approach to the upcoming campaign. The club is also reportedly considering a move to a new stadium in the future.
