Who will replace Julien Stéphan on the Stade Rennais bench? This is the big question that has agitated Ille-et-Vilaine since Sunday and the rout suffered by the Rouge et Noir in Auxerre (0-4). If the technician in place has not yet been officially dismissed, his hours actually seem to be numbered because the Breton club is working to find a successor. While several names have already been mentioned, such as those of Igor Tudor, Rudi Garcia or even Jorge Sampaoli, two avenues would seriously emerge in the eyes of the Rennes management.
Beye while waiting…Haise?
According to information from France Bleu Armorique this Tuesday, November 5, a duo composed of Habib Beye, without a club since his departure from Red Star last May, and Mathieu Le Scornet, current coach of the RC Strasbourg reserve (N3 ), could hold the rope… while waiting for Franck Haise. Arnaud Pouille, the Rennes president, reportedly knows his former coach at RC Lens is interested in the position in Brittany. But the former Sang et Or coach would not see himself leaving OGC Nice, which he joined last summer, in the middle of the season. Which could offer Habib Beye, if chosen, the opportunity to prove himself by the end of the season…
The other option, confirmed by Foot Mercato, would lead to the Portuguese Sérgio Conceiçao. The former coach of Nantes (2016-2017) is free after his departure from FC Porto this summer, which he had coached since 2017. His name had notably been mentioned with Olympique de Marseille during the last off-season, before the appointment by Roberto De Zerbi. For his part, sports director Frederic Massara would push for Rudi Garcia, with whom he worked at AS Roma.
To summarize
Who will replace Julien Stéphan on the Stade Rennais bench? This is the big question that has agitated Ille-et-Vilaine since Sunday and the rout suffered by the Rouge et Noir in Auxerre (0-4). If the technician in place has not yet been officially dismissed, his hours actually seem to be numbered because the Breton club is working to find a successor.
