FC Nantes has recently been in the spotlight with the news that Luis Castro, the club's former coach, declined an offer from AS Saint-Étienne. According to the Spanish daily Sport, ASSE had approached Castro after his departure from Nantes last December. The coach had successfully saved Levante from relegation in La Liga, which caught the attention of the Saint-Étienne management. However, Castro politely declined the offer, opting to honor his contract with Levante until 2028. ASSE quickly moved on from this refusal and turned to Ian Cathro, who is arriving from Estoril. This situation highlights Castro's ambitions, as he chose to remain in Spain rather than join a historic rival like ASSE. The Saint-Étienne club is now eager to name their new coach before the weekend, while Castro continues to make headlines due to his performances in La Liga.
