While his name is insistently mentioned at Stade Rennais to take over from Julien Stéphan, Jorge Sampaoli is content with a contract of only eight months… while waiting for better?
The current situation at Stade Rennais is more than critical. While the investments during the summer transfer window were massive, with nearly 80 million euros spent to reshape the squad, the sporting performance was far from expectations. Ranked 13th in Ligue 1 with only 11 points and two ahead of penultimate place, the Breton club is in great danger.
So much so that management recently made the decision to part ways with Julien Stéphan, who led his last training session at the head of the team yesterday, Thursday November 7. To replace him, Jorge Sampaoli should arrive this Friday and sign a short-term contract.
Jorge Sampaoli before the sequel?
In the little papers of Stade Rennais, Jorge Sampaoli seems to be the preferred track by the club's sports management. The Bretons, looking for an energetic coach like the former Olympique de Marseille, will go from everything to everything. The Argentine technician, without a club since the end of his adventure at Flamengo in September 2023, could agree to commit for a very short period. Ouest-France reminds in this respect that his contract could only be an eight-month freelance contract.
Waiting for the sequel? “ In Rennes, we do not forget to remind that Pouille would not mind working again one day with the current Nice coach Franck Haise, himself attached to the SRFC, and whose name had already been circulated for a return to Brittany at the end of last season », Adds the regional daily. Stade Rennais is therefore preparing to prepare for the future by making Jorge Sampaoli a sort of interim coach. Waiting for better, then.
