Rennes – TFC: three days before the match, Stade Rennais fires its coach Julien Stéphan, as well as a former member of the Toulouse club

Who will be the Stade Rennais coach this Sunday, November 10, for the TFC reception? In any case it will not be Julien Stéphan, who was sacked this Thursday, as well as his staff, which included Denis Zanko, former educator and director of the TFC center training center, who had briefly held the position of coach principal, acting as interim after Antoine Kombouaré during the 2019-2020 season.

With only three victories in ten matches, Stade Rennais is in difficulty in the championship, far from the results hoped for for a team that has been regularly European in recent seasons. Thirteenth in the standings, the Bretons have even just been overtaken by the TFC, in the midst of a reconquest operation and who have just scored two consecutive victories, in Montpellier and against Reims. Against the MHSC, the Violets had not undergone the change of coach at all, winning 3-0 against the team coached by Jean-Louis Gasset, who had just replaced Michel Der Zakarian, first coach dismissed in Ligue 1 this season.

Julien Stéphan is therefore the second, and the name of his replacement is not yet known. But according to L’Équipe, it could be Jorge Sampaoli. The former Marseille coach (2021-2022), without a club since his departure from Flamengo, in Brazil, in September 2023, could therefore have a second experience in France. In the meantime, “the training of the professional team will be provided by Sébastien Tambouret (coach of the Pro2 group), assisted by Denis Arnaud (Director of the Academy) and Pierre-Alexandre Lelièvre (assistant coach of the Pro2 group)” announced the Stade Rennais in a press release.
