Just installed as coach of Rennes, Jorge Sampaoli learned some very good news for his squad.
Jorge Sampaoli has just taken charge of Stade Rennais. A handful of days after his induction into the Roazhon Park side, the Argentine technician saw the management make a significant effort by signing a contract with a player.
Those in charge of the Rouge et Noir have signed a first professional contract for promising defender Yaël Thébault. Born in 2007 and with 12 selections for French youth teams, he is committed until 2028 with the Breton team.
Rennes thinks about the future
Noticed while he was playing at Versailles, he has only progressed since. Brilliant in Gambardella (8 matches, 5 starts) and regular with the Tricolores (4 matches in U16, 8 in U17), the Parisian by birth signed his first professional contract until 2028, in the wake of Mohamed Kader Meïté.
This signing turns out to be a very good mark of confidence on the part of the SRFC towards the man who injured his knee ligaments last October. Thébault continues his rehabilitation after starting the season as a starter with the Espoirs (5 appearances).
After signing the contract, the person concerned declared:It's a lot of pride and joy to sign my first professional contract with my training club. It is the reward for a lot of work over many years. I thank the club for the trust shown, it is a strong sign one month after a serious injury. She's going to keep me away from the field for a while, a difficult moment to overcome, but to see that the club is present, it gives a lot of strength. I was in a good dynamic with things to look for, but it happens, you have to know how to get over it. It will boost me during rehabilitation to come back even stronger next season. I will work hard every day. »
