A short season and then leaves … the adventure of Frederic Massara at Stade Rennais will have turned short. Arrived less than a year ago to take over from Florian Maurice at the head of the sports management, the manager did not give satisfaction.
Massara pays in particular the completely missed summer recruitment of Stade Rennais, mainly focused on foreign recruits which have not been able to win in Ligue 1.
Julien Stephan / Frédéric Massara, a duo who did not stay in Rennes for a long time.
The arrival of Arnaud Pouille during the season has redistributed the behind the scenes of Stade Rennais, as the winter transfer window demonstrated, where the former leader of the Racing Club of Lens operated his whole network to bring players like Brice Samba and Steve Mandanda.
What future for Massara?
While Stade Rennais has changed coach twice this season (Jorge Sampaoli had replaced Julien Stéphan before leaving his post in Habib Beye), next summer is akin to a strategic turn in the development of the club. Rennes cannot afford to redo a second season in the second part of the table.
For his part, Frederic Massara is expected to return to the fold, in a country, Italy, where he made his arms. Journalist Nicolo Schira indicates that two Serie A clubs are interested in the manager's profile.
