According to information from FootMercato, Sergio Conceição would be one of Stade Rennais' priorities to replace Julien Stephan.
It's been several months since he last sat on the sidelines. Without a club since his departure from FC Porto in the off-season, Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição is currently experiencing his first break since 2016.
And if he has necessarily made fewer headlines in the Portuguese press since the end of his contract with the Dragonsthe Portuguese technician still has a certain notoriety abroad.
Rennes advance towards Conceição
This is particularly the case in France, where Sergio Conceição left an excellent image. Called to take charge of the Nantes team in December 2016, the Mister distinguished himself in the best possible way with a magnificent rise in the rankings, which also allowed him to join the FC Porto bench six months later. late.
Since then, the former Portuguese international has changed dimension, and can aspire to play within particularly renowned clubs. While Olympique de Marseille had tried to offer him this summer, it is now Stade Rennais which, according to information from FootMercato, has made Sergio Conceição one of its priorities.
An option which, again according to the indicated source, would suit the current expectations of the former FC Porto coach. The one who still lives in Portugal will, however, have to face strong competition if he wishes to take control of the Breton club. Indeed, a certain Habib Beye, or even Rudi Garcia, have recently been linked to Stade Rennais, which is preparing an inevitable change of coach following the recent debacle at Auxerre.
