This week, Stade Rennais launched an internal audit to identify areas for improvement. The initiative comes from management, and not from coach Julien Stéphan who was uncomfortable discussing this investigation at a press conference.
The narrow victory against Le Havre (1-0) did not really reassure Stade Rennais. The proof is that the Rouge et Noir were accompanied by whistles to Roazhon Park last weekend. Breton supporters remain unhappy with the start of the season, as does management, which requested an internal audit. Former physical trainer and performance manager, Grégory Dupont's mission is to identify dysfunctions within the Breton club.
Announced in the hot seat, Julien Stéphan does not necessarily view this initiative favorably. The Rennes coach seemed uncomfortable when discussing this audit in front of the media. “ This is a management decision.underlined the technician. We were told this after the Le Havre match. And there is no impact on our daily life or on our functioning. For the rest, I can't tell you more, because it's not our own initiative, we staff. » However, the coach of the Rouge et Noir has already frequented Grégory Dupont in Strasbourg.
Stéphan is wary
« I knew him of course, we worked together for a year and a half, we know each other very, very well. But we must distinguish everythinghe qualified. We worked together for a year and a half, and today at the request of management he is coming to do a 15-day audit. It's an observation mission but I can't tell you much more today because I'm not responsible for his arrival. Any idea that would help develop performance is a good idea. Any gains that can be made, it's a good idea. » While awaiting the conclusions of the audit, Julien Stéphan has every interest in returning from Auxerre with a victory on Sunday.
