This week, rumors circulated around the potential arrival of Samir Nasri in Rennes alongside Jorge Sampaoli. However, no official confirmation has been made. Friday, the daily L'Equipe described these speculations as unfounded, shedding light on the situation.
Sébastien Tambouret, currently coach of the reserve team, could take his place on the bench during the match against Toulouse. Indeed, Stade Rennes has not yet reached an agreement with a new coach. Tambouret led the pre-match press conference Friday morning.
According to several sources, including L'Equipe, Ouest-France and France Bleu Armorique, Jorge Sampaoli has an agreement in principle with the Breton club. This information fueled discussions about Samir Nasri's possible role as deputy, a rumor that quickly gained momentum.
Despite the enthusiasm generated by this hypothesis, L'Equipe specified that Stade Rennes denied any possibility of Nasri coming. The latter, unreachable at the moment, would have been approached, but neither by Sampaoli nor by the Breton club, according to available information.
The name of Samir Nasri had already been mentioned the previous year to join Bruno Genesio's management. However, his signing does not appear to be on the agenda at the moment, despite previous discussions on the matter.
While waiting for formalization, Sébastien Tambouret continues to prepare for the next match. Uncertainty still hangs over the Rennes bench, but the club is striving to find a quick solution to stabilize its technical direction.
