Future coach of Stade Rennais, Jorge Sampaoli could work with Samir Nasri in his technical staff. The former attacking midfielder was asked to accompany the Argentinian to the Rouge et Noir. But no one internally knows who contacted the Frenchman.
The Samir Nasri rumor is gaining momentum. This Thursday, insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter announced the possible arrival of the former attacking midfielder in Jorge Sampaoli's baggage in Rennes. The Frenchman would arrive as deputy to Julien Stéphan's probable successor. This information is not confirmed on the L'Equipe website, which has not denied it either. Our colleagues indicate that Samir Nasri would have been contacted to join the Breton club. But the source does not know where the phone call came from.
Rennes denies it but…
The response was not given by the Canal+ consultant who could not be reached for the sports daily. In any case, we learn that Jorge Sampaoli and his entourage are not at the origin of the call to Samir Nasri. The two men remained on good terms after their joint season (2016-2017) at Sevilla FC, during which the Marseille native appreciated his coach's methods. But no contact has taken place between them in recent days. The initiative would not come from the leaders of Stade Rennais either, who deny any action.
This could be an external intermediary. But whatever the case, the media assures that the arrival of Samir Nasri in Rennes is not news. Not enough to cool Mohamed Toubache-Ter, sure of his information. “ Since this seems misunderstood by a media (probably because it is not well informed), I confirm this tweet: Nasri, Sampaoli's deputy in Rennes… it's in the papershe insisted on X. Not sure that the operational people in Rennes have mastered all the thoughts made above them. » Interest in Samir Nasri would therefore come from the owners.
