Moses Simon: Paris FC to reunite Super Eagles star with coach who unlocked him at Nantes

Super Eagles attacker Moses Simon is set to be reunited with his former manager, Antoine Kombouaré, at Paris FC, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Simon joined Paris FC from Nantes last summer in a deal worth €7 million. Before making the switch, he spent six years with the Yellow Canaries, where he established himself as a club legend.

During his time at Nantes, Simon contributed 37 goals and 42 assists in 201 appearances, playing a pivotal role in keeping the club afloat in the top flight.

​His most productive campaign came last season under the guidance of French tactician Kombouaré, where he recorded eight goals and 10 assists in 32 league appearances.

However, since moving to the capital, the 30-year-old has struggled to replicate that form, netting just three goals and two assists in 20 Ligue 1 outings this season.

​This dip in form coincides with a difficult debut season for Paris FC in the French top flight. The club currently sits 17th in the table, just nine points clear of the final relegation spot.

Stéphane Gilli, the coach who led their promotion from Ligue 2, has been under fire all season due to a string of disappointing results despite significant summer investment.

​Kombouaré Set to Replace Gilli as Moses Simon’s Coach At Paris FC

​According to French journalist Benjamin Quarez, Antoine Kombouaré is set to replace Stéphane Gilli as Paris FC head coach this coming Monday. The club reached the decision following a -1 draw against Toulouse on Sunday.

​Kombouaré is a seasoned Ligue 1 veteran with an extensive resume, having managed clubs such as PSG, Lens, Toulouse, and Nantes.

Known for his tactical discipline, he has a reputation for guiding teams through difficult relegation battles. His primary objective for the remainder of the campaign will be ensuring survival with just 11 games left on the calendar.

​Moses Simon stands to benefit immensely from this appointment. Having played some of the finest football of his career under the 62-year-old, the reunion offers a chance to rediscover his best form.

Paris FC will be hoping that this familiar partnership can spark a late-season surge to secure their top-flight status.
