4-0. A monumental slap on the scale of Stade Rennais, and what's more on the pitch of a promoted team. The SRFC had not lost a Ligue 1 match by a similar score for almost eight years to the day, since a trip to the Parc des Princes against Paris on November 6, 2016, under the mandate of Christian Gourcuff. Almost 300 matches have passed since…
It was an era that we thought was over, which also says things about the downgrading at work for the Breton club, plunged into crisis since Sunday evening. Internal reflection is underway to decide the fate of coach Julien Stéphan.
Resumption of training this Tuesday…
An internal source indicated that decisions would be taken quickly, taking into account the circumstances of this rout in the form of a rupture, this impression of a lost team. Stéphan's position seems to have become untenable, while the Toulouse reception will take place on Sunday November 10 (5 p.m.) at Roazhon Park.
Several replacement options were studied, including Habib Beye, Rudi Garcia or Igor Tudor, the latter option having a priori been ruled out. The players should return to La Piverdière this Tuesday, November 5 in the afternoon.
Stade Rennais had not lost by at least three goals since another match in Paris, which dated from November 7, 2020.
The scale of the disaster is also measured by the identity of the adversary. Rennes had not lost by such a margin against a promotion to L1 since a 6-0 suffered in Nancy at the end of August 2005. Almost twenty years.
