To replace Julien Stéphan, Stade Rennais would consider appointing a former coach of Olympique de Marseille. It would not be Rudi Garcia but another South American tactician.
Julien Stéphan's succession is becoming clearer. According to The Team as The Parisian, the name of Jorge Sampaoli has gained weight on the Stade Rennais side. The Argentine coach would be motivated to return to Ligue 1 and would appreciate the project proposed by the Bretons.
The former Olympique de Marseille would hold the rope being in very advanced discussions with Rennes. Habib Beye would also be in the race as would Wilfried Nancy, Niko Kovac or Patrick Vieira. Sampaoli does not speak French and his deputy does. Thus, the management of the Rouge et Noir would have validated his determined and committed profile. The game he proposed to Marseille would excite the leaders of the SRFC.
Would he miss the Vélodrome? Sampaoli would always closely follow the Marseille enclosure and the results of his team. The South American tactician would thus know the dynamics of all Ligue 1 clubs and would have displayed total knowledge of the Rennes situation.
His time at OM was noted with a second place in Ligue 1 and a style of play very appreciated by supporters.
