Nothing is going to Rennes anymore. Last Sunday, Stade Rennais was able to do better than a draw in Le Havre (2-2). After a slow start to the season, marked by four parity scores in eight days, Habib Beye already sees his position weaken. Appointed in January 2025, the Senegalese technician would not be unanimous in his locker room, according to the revelations of Daniel Riolo.
“Habib Beye is in trouble in Rennes”first launches the editorialist of RMC in theAfter Foot. According to him, a new clan has formed in recent months around several former Lensois, led by Arnaud Pouille, executive president of the club since October 2024.
“The bad languages say that the only decisions he is able to make is to fill the pay sheets, to make staggering transfers and to give patient wages to his little Lensois darlings including Seko Fofana and Brice Samba, who have disproportionate wages for reindeer”continues Riolo.
According to the journalist, this is from this clan ” Lensois “ that tensions would come around Beye. “Inside this Lensois clan, there are two very very strong men, by the weight they have in the locker room, by their history and their salary, it is Samba and Fofana. And it turns out that it does not stick with Beye. And these two have decided that they would have the skin of Habib Beye ”he says.
“Beye, it was dead”
Riolo goes even further by reporting an episode that occurred after the draw in Lens (0-0, September 28). “Brice Samba went to the Lensois locker room – there was Rongier too, but supports Beye – to prune the coach. Samba and Fofana decided that Beye was dead, that he was not a good coach and that they did not want to work with him ”he says.
Still according to Riolo, the discussions between Beye and his executives would not have arranged anything: “Beye tried to meet with some players, such as Fofana but it was refused. Samba and Fofana decided to have a little bit of his skin. Pouille has the ability to make decisions. »» Tenth in the Ligue 1 ranking, Stade Rennais will imperatively have to revive after the international break, when receiving the AJ Auxerre on October 19.
