In an interview with BFM TV reported by Motor1.com, Carlos Ghosn, speaking from Lebanon, asserted that Nissan is currently facing a “desperate situation” following years of mismanagement.

He stated:

“The company is in a desperate situation” and “forced to go begging for help from one of its main competitors in Japan.”

He also expressed deeper concerns:

  • “I had foreseen the decline of Nissan and the disappearance of the alliance.”
  • He criticized Nissan’s leadership for “decisions that were too slow” and blamed “most of the problems” on its current management.
  • Reflecting on alliance dynamics, he labeled the failed merger with Honda a “desperate move”, and described the Renault–Nissan alliance as “small and fragile.”

Ghosn noted:

“Nissan has become boring, mediocre” and is currently “in the doldrums.”
