"It’s better not to say more, because I don’t know why no one respects our club", said the former coach of Clube da Luz’s youth teams, in statements to Ligue 1+. In addition, Luís Castro has felt increased pressure from the fans, as he has been criticized because of the team’s results.

"I can’t control that. I try to do my job as best as I can. I’m not going to wear myself out over things I can’t control", the Nantes coach also added, stating that it is a waste of time to point out the repeated mistakes in the games.

"It’s not up to me to decide whether I stay or not. I do my job as best as I know how. The things I can’t control don’t worry me", concluded Luís Castro, at a time when Nantes occupies 15th place in the French championship, close to the relegation zone.
