Adrien Truffert will be the new captain of Stade Rennais. Jorge Sampaoli announced it this Thursday at a press conference.
With the arrival of Brice Samba, Steve Mandanda will be demoted to second in the hierarchy of goalkeepers at Stade Rennais. Given that it was the former Marseillais who wore the captain’s armband since the start of the season, Jorge Sampaoli will have to elect a new captain.
Truffert will succeed Mandanda
Present this Thursday at a press conference on the sidelines of the clash against Olympique de Marseille, the Rennes coach announced that Adrien Truffert will be his new captain. “I like those who show the way. Those who talk, not too much. The captain must be chosen by the players, not by the coach. Otherwise, I will be suspected of choosing a player who tells me everything. I have always said that the captain should be chosen democratically by his teammates. Elections? No, when I arrived the captains chosen at the start of the year were Steve Mandanda, Baptiste Santamaria and Adrien Truffert. So, Adrien will continue. Unless the group manifests something else. » Unless Brice Samba is too tight to start and Steve Mandanda starts in the Rennes cages, it is therefore Adrien Truffert who should wear the Rennes captain’s armband against OM.
