Following the Breton club's difficult start to the season, Habib Beye seems weakened in his position. Indeed, after seven days, Stade Rennais is only in tenth place in Ligue 1.
Two days before the reception of AJ Auxerre, Loïc Désiré wanted to comfort his coach. “ There is no debate about that. On the other hand, we must react and improve. Habib has been on the side of the media world too, but he does not show negative signals on a daily basis. He's completely involved, and there's no reason why it shouldn't work. We are with him every day, we are there to help him, we get together, we see the players… We are all mobilized! »assured the Sports Director of the Breton club to West France.
Two players in particular, Brice Samba and Seko Fofana, would not get along with the 47-year-old technician. The goalkeeper and the midfielder would have even pushed
behind the scenes to make him go.
Habib Beye affected by rumors in the press
“I spoke individually with Brice (Samba) and Seko (Fofana), reacted the main person concerned at a press conference. With what had been said in the press it was necessary that we talk. Precisely for them to see that I have not changed my state of mind regarding that and that what is important is the Auxerre match and that we are in unity. External destabilization exists all the time. What we must return is stability and unity. »
In the last three matches, Stade Rennais has drawn three results, against opponents who are apparently within their reach. Victory against Auxerre in 48 hours already seems imperative.
