While he seemed well on his way to being retained in his position as coach, Bruno Genesio could finally pack his bags, according to information from L’Equipe and Ouest-France.
Thus, it is Julien Stéphan who knows the Rennes house well, who could take over for a six-month freelance period, until the end of the current financial year, for what would be a huge twist. Because Rennes is today far from its initial objectives, with a mediocre 13th place in the standings and only one point ahead of Lorient, the roadblock.
Defeated before the international break by OL (1-0), the Rouge et Noir are worrying as an invigorating schedule awaits them with the reception of Reims, the Europa League against Maccabi Haifa, and a Marseille-Monaco series.
And all this, without Bruno Genesio… The officialization of his departure could in fact fall on Monday following West France, which puts forward the hypothesis of a possible departure negotiated directly with the boss François Pinault.
