Will Stade Rennais change captain? A priori, no. While keeper Steve Mandanda (39 years old, 11 matches in L1 this season) wore the armband under the orders of Julien Stéphan, the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli as coach could have called his position into question. The Argentinian will leave it to the players to elect the captain, but the former French international should be chosen.
“Regarding the captain, I especially want him to represent the team. For me, it's not even my role to choose the captain. It's up to the players to do it. His role is above all to choose me convey the feeling of the team, the perception of the team? He is someone I know very well. I think he is a good captain and he will surely be. , confided the new coach of Rennes, this Friday at the conference of press.
During his time at Olympique de Marseille, Sampaoli relegated Mandanda to the bench in favor of Pau Lopez. But obviously, in Brittany, the 2018 world champion should prove more important in the eyes of the native of Casilda.
