Julien Stéphan, the coach of Stade Rennais, discussed his future after a defeat against AS Monaco with a score of 1-2. This defeat adds to a series of disappointing results for the Breton club, fueling speculation about its position.
The departure of Olivier Cloarec from his position as executive president, replaced by Arnaud Pouille, intensified the pressure on Stéphan. According to Foot Mercato, the coach could be in danger of losing his place, a situation complicated by the recent defeat.
During the press conference after the match, Julien Stéphan was asked about his future. He declared: “The pressure is constant. We wear it every day. I will remain under pressure until the last day I do this job. »
Stéphan also expressed his commitment to leading his team with rigor: “The pressure we put on ourselves on a daily basis is to keep a group in one direction, make them work, encourage them when they deserve it like this evening (Saturday), lecture them like last week they deserved it. »
He added that despite efforts to improve the team, it was not enough against Monaco. Stéphan stressed that decisions regarding his future do not depend on him, but he remains focused on the team development.
The Pinault family, owner of the club, is reportedly thinking about Stéphan’s future, while the club is going through a difficult period. The next few days could be decisive for the coach and his team.
