Snubbed by Nantes, Luís Castro fires back: It takes... | OneFootball

After two successful seasons at Dunkerque, Luís Castro signed with Nantes, however, life in Ligue 1 has not been easy. In the midst of a challenging atmosphere, the former youth coach of Benfica recalled his experience at his previous club and stated what is needed to turn the situation around.

Facing criticism for Nantes’ start to the season, the former coach of the Eagles responded to the criticism by recalling his time at Dunkerque, stating that it takes time for positive aspects and changes to emerge.

In statements to RMC Sport, the Portuguese coach emphasized the two pillars necessary for a club to succeed: "For a project to be successful, you need time or money. At Manchester City, Pep Guardiola had both. Jurgen Klopp as well, when he arrived at Liverpool".

Currently in 15th place in Ligue 1, with only one victory in eight rounds, the former coach of João Neves – who is currently injured – gave a guarantee to the fans: "I know our current position. We will keep working and I will always give my best".

"Two years ago, everyone said Dunkerque would be relegated during the winter break, that there was only a 2 percent chance we would stay in Ligue 2. In the end, we managed to stay up", added Luís Castro, recalling his adventure in the French second division.
