Jorge Sampaoli could make his return to Ligue 1 a little over two years after leaving OM. Stade Rennais would have made the decision to dismiss Julien Stéphan and this choice was communicated to him according to journalist Mohamed Toubache-Ter. It may therefore only be a matter of hours before the Argentinian's admirers witness his arrival in France.
He will certainly have only spent a season and a half at theIF, but like his successor Igor Tudor, Jorge Sampaoli left a beautiful memory among Marseille supporters, but also among certain players like Matteo Guendouzi. Since summer 2022, Sampaoli is looking for himself somewhat in view of his short experiences on the side of Sevilla FC and of Flemish while he had made the decision to leave OM at the very start of the 2022 summer transfer window.
After OM, a return for Jorge Sampaoli to Rennes?
The Team revealed this Thursday that serious discussions would take place behind the scenes between Jorge Sampaoli and his entourage as well as the senior decision-makers of the Stade Rennais. Worse, the Argentinian technician would be the absolute priority of the Breton club in the context of the succession of Julien Stéphan for whom the days have been numbered lately. His dismissal would now be recorded.
Julien Stéphan just fired by Rennes?
Back to Stade Rennais in 2023 after having done notable work between 2018 and 2021, Julien Stéphan does not experience the same success for his second stint on the bench Rennes. Moreover, if we are to believe the information from the journalist Mohamed Toubache–Ter disclosed on Xthe Rennes steering committee would have just sacked Stephan this Thursday early afternoon. So all we have to do is wait to Jorge Sampaoli.
