After expressing his desire to go to France to continue his coaching career, Ranieri was welcomed by Nantes and was ready to meet all the terms of "The Welding Master". However, although Nantes and the Italian coach have accepted each other, up to now, the "Welding Man" has not been able to sign a pen with Nantes because he is too old.
According to the regulations of the French Football Federation (FFF), clubs in professional tournament systems are not allowed to hire coaches over 65 years old, while coach Ranieri has passed the age of 65 since October 2016. Currently, Nantes is trying to find a way to fix the problem, but in addition to the fact that coach Ranieri is too old, this club is also being made difficult by those responsible in the FFF.
The person who is "difficulting" Nantes is the former head coach of the French national team - Mr. Raymond Domenech. According to Nantes's Chairman, the main barrier to the contract with Coach Ranieri lies in Mr. Domenech's decision, not necessarily the age of the "Weld".
" Basically, the League-1 board has agreed. However, the remaining problem lies in the decision of the FFF, especially from Mr. Raymond Domenech. I don't understand why he hesitated to deal with this for Nantes," said Nantes President Waldermar.
If Nantes arrives successfully, Coach Ranieri will work in France for the second time. Previously, the "Welding Man" led AS Monaco in 2012.
