On November 11, Stade Rennes decided to appoint Jorge Sampaoli as head of the first team in place of Julien Stéphan. For the moment, the Argentinian is having a mixed start on the Breton bench. One thing is certain, the former OM coach must impatiently wait for the winter transfer window in order to be able to shape his squad a little more. Moreover, the main interested party mentioned this winter market: “It's a difficult market, because either the players who stand out are not available, or others have played little and find themselves without rhythm. For a player who stands out elsewhere to arrive here seems complicated to me, even if I hope so” he commented at first.
Sampaoli would like reinforcements but…
In the meantime, discussions are going well internally on this Mercato: “We talk about it, we thought in particular of an offensive player, a player who gives us new solutions on the attack line, but also in the middle. It's a complicated market, you can always recruit players without rhythm but we are in an emergency situation, so I need players ready for January, not for the long term. If players arrive, I hope they will be ready to play. In January, we will meet very well prepared teams (Nice, OM, Brest, Monaco), January will determine a lot of things, I hope for good players who will allow us to improve the squad” he concluded. As a reminder, SRFC is twelfth in Ligue 1 with 17 points in the space of fifteen days.
