Antoine Kombouare has been reappointed as head coach of Nantes in place of the sacked Jocelyn Gourvennec, the Ligue 1 strugglers announced on Tuesday.
The 60-year-old previously left the club shortly before the end of last season despite taking them to the Coupe de France title in 2022 and last year's final.
Kombouare becomes the Canaries' third coach of the season after Gourvennec mustered just 10 points from his 13 league games in charge after taking over from Pierre Aristouy last November.
Nantes currently occupy the relegation playoff spot in Ligue 1, sitting just two points above the bottom two and one from safety.
The club are playing in the French top flight for an 11th consecutive season this term.
