Without Steve Mandanda, injured in one arm and replaced by Gauthier Gallon at the break, Rennes did too little to hope to get back on track: Blas was deprived of a goal for an offside position by Jota (51st) , Amine Gouiri missed the target (61st), and that's about it. The changes made by Stéphane Tambouret, placed on the bench for one match, had no effect. It is a moribund team, 13th in the standings, two points behind Toulouse (10th), which Sampaoli will inherit.
