After the dismissal of Julien Stephan, Jorge Sampaoli should be formalized as the new coach of Stade Rennais.
Nothing is going well at Stade Rennais. In difficulty at the start of the season, the Breton club dismissed its main coach, Julien Stéphan. To replace him, the Rouge et Noir should appoint Jorge Sampaoli, who was present at Roazhon Park on Sunday to watch the match against Toulouse FC (0-2 defeat). The Argentine technician already has his staff ready while awaiting his probable signature.
Sampaoli arrives in Rennes with three deputies
Without a club since his departure from Flamengo in September 2023, Jorge Sampaoli could relaunch in Ligue 1 which he knows very well after his time at Olympique de Marseille between March 2021 and June 2022. In pole position for the position of coach from Stade Rennais, the former Argentina coach should arrive at the Bretons with a much smaller squad. While he is used to dealing with many more men, the former Sevilla coach should sign for Rennes with a staff made up of three men in addition to himself.

According to information reported by RMC Sport, this Monday, the technical staff of the 64-year-old Argentine technician will now be made up of Diogo Meschine, Pablo Fernández and Marcos Fernández. According to the media, the first man mentioned above, who had already been Sampaoli's assistant during his time at Olympique de Marseille, will be reappointed in this role to help his boss complete his mission in Ille-et-Vilaine. As for him, Pablo Fernández will also be with the Argentinian. He was Sampaoli's faithful physical trainer at OM. He even hit a supporter during Nice-OM in 2021 when Dimitri Payet received a bottle of water before throwing it into the stand.

As far as he is concerned, Marcos Fernández, son of Marcos, is also a physical trainer just like his father. He should also be in Jorge Sampaoli's staff to take charge of Stade Rennais, which has two defeats in a row in Ligue 1.
