Antoine Kombouaré, the coach of RC Lens, has adopted a more composed demeanor on the sidelines, a change he attributes in part to his time at Paris Saint-Germain. Despite leading PSG to success in the French championship, Kombouaré was unexpectedly dismissed in December 2011, an experience that left a lasting impression on him.
Reflecting on his evolution, Kombouaré acknowledges the influence of his family, particularly his children, who have strong opinions and challenge him. He emphasizes the importance of gaining experience and remaining calm despite the internal turmoil. While he admits to still feeling the heat of the moment, he strives to maintain composure, albeit with occasional lapses.
Regarding his coaching style, Kombouaré prefers to operate more discreetly, away from the spotlight. He values his role in preparing tactics and engaging with players, rather than being constantly in the media spotlight. This shift in approach allows him to focus on his primary responsibilities and avoid feeling overwhelmed by external pressures.
