Halilhodžić's Rousing Return to Save Nantes from Relegation

Vahid Halilhodžić has been appointed the new manager of FC Nantes, taking the helm on March 11th. His immediate objective is to steer the club away from the relegation zone in Ligue 1.

As of March 14, 2026, Nantes occupies the final relegation position with 17 points. Halilhodžić, who previously played for Nantes in the 1980s and won a league title, has responded to the challenge by increasing training intensity.

The Bosnian coach recently took three days to accept the offer, having last coached Morocco until August 2022. He previously led Algeria to their best World Cup performance in 2014.

Halilhodžić's first tenure as Nantes coach from October 2018 to August 2019 resulted in a win rate of just over 45%, ending due to a dispute with the owner.
