Back in France at the head of Stade Rennais, Jorge Sampaoli was sent off during the defeat against Nantes (1-0) this Monday in Ligue 1. The Argentine coach received a sanction at the end of the match after having strongly contested the cancellation of Christopher Wooh’s goal for a handball.
The volcanic behavior of the former Olympique de Marseille coach did not escape Raymond Domenech, who spoke on the subject on the set of The Evening Team. The former coach of the Blues and ex-coach of the Canaries, known for his skepticism towards foreign coaches, did not hesitate to comment with a touch of irony on the current record of the South American technician.
A complicated start to Sampaoli’s mandate
“Sampaoli will bring energy, yes… He brought some since he was sent off. Three matches, he only won one, against Saint-Etienne (5-0) who were playing with ten players. This famous miracle solution from foreign coaches is a spectacle, but not a real answer”launched the Rhodanian.
For the moment, Rennes occupies 12th place in the ranking, tied on points with Nantes (13th) and Strasbourg (14th). The Bretons will try to get back on track next Sunday at home against Angers, as part of the 15th day of Ligue 1.
