FC Nantes has appointed Cameroon defender Jean-Charles Castelletto as their new captain, overlooking Nigeria’s Moses Simon, who has been with the club for five years. Simon, a key player for Nantes, has been instrumental in the team’s success, but manager Antoine Kombouaré has chosen to go with Castelletto instead.
This decision has raised eyebrows, considering Simon’s dedication and commitment to the club. He has been a vital part of Nantes’ squad, making significant contributions to their performances.
However, it seems that Kombouaré has opted for a different leadership style, choosing Castelletto to lead the team.
Simon’s omission from the captaincy role may come as a disappointment to Nigerian fans, who have grown accustomed to seeing him excel on the pitch. Despite this setback, Simon remains a crucial player for Nantes, and his skills and experience will undoubtedly continue to benefit the team.
