Ligue 1 side Nantes have tried (and failed) with an amazing attempt for André Villas-Boas in recent days, as they continue to look for their new manager, according to L’Équipe.
This comes as Ouest-France reported yesterday that Nantes also met with former Japan boss Vahid Halilhodzic.
Yet as it stands, the front-runner is current Rio Ave manager Miguel Cardoso; the Portuguese outfit will allow the player to leave for Nantes for €200k.
