After Julien Stéphan and Jorge Sampaoli, Stade Rennais appointed a third trainer on his bench this season, in the person of Habib Beye. The Senegalese technician was looking for the first challenge in Ligue 1 in his career after proving the Red Star.
And Habib Beye did not miss his debut. With 3 victories won in his first 4 games, the former defender already imposes his paw on the first team of the Stade Rennais. But he could have been led by a competitor before being chosen by the shareholder.
Garcia was close to causing Rennes
This Thursday, Rudi Garcia revealed in an interview with the team that he had been approached by Stade Rennais in recent weeks. “When Rennes arose, even if I knew Frederic Massara (the new sports director) from Italy, I wanted to chat with the Pinault family. But it didn't happen. ”
Garcia finally opted for the Belgian selection. “There have been other European clubs (contacts with AS Rome and FC Porto, negotiations with Manchester United). We quickly agreed with Belgium on the sporting level. Since my visit to Al-Nassr (in Saudi Arabia, between July 2022 and April 2023), I have financial and choice. I wanted a real sports challenge. »»
