Steve Mandanda could well start to worry at Stade Rennais. New SRFC coach Jorge Sampaoli is reportedly considering signing a new goalkeeper for next season.
Mercato Stade Rennais: Steve Mandanda pushed towards the exit at SRFC?
Steve Mandanda could leave Stade Rennais at the end of the season. Arriving in Brittany in 2022, the French international no longer seems to be part of Jorge Sampaoli's plans. The two men have already worked together at Olympique de Marseille.
Indeed, it was under the leadership of the Argentine technician that Steve Mandanda encountered some difficulties. Jorge Sampaoli was looking for a more talented goalkeeper and had bet on Pau Lopez. At the end of his contract, Steve Mandanda left OM at the end of the season and signed with Stade Rennais in July 2022.
And now, the two men meet again at Stade Rennais. Jorge Sampaoli indicated that he had good relations with Steve Mandanda and that the latter was part of his plans. “I have a good relationship with him. I always had a direct relationship with him. “It will help get us out of this pitfall,” declared the Argentine coach at a press conference after his arrival in Rennes.
But according to information from insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Jorge Sampaoli would not count on Steve Mandanda next season. Stade Rennais is reportedly actively looking for a new goalkeeper. For Steve Mandanda, at the end of his contract next June, the future looks uncertain. Despite his status as a Stade Rennais legend, it seems unlikely that Jorge Sampaoli will push for an extension of his contract.
