The carmaker said last month the former long-time Renault executive would step down from the board of directors on June 27 when his term expired, casting doubt on his future as he had been seen as a front-runner to be the next CEO.

Gupta had clashed with Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida over Uchida's desire to close the negotiations with Renault quickly, with Gupta urging more caution over terms of the deal, people with knowledge of the talks have told Reuters.
