The outcome is near for Habib Beye. The Stade Rennais coach had a very eventful start to the week. This Monday, the former Senegalese international was announced as leaving by numerous sources, before finally being renewed for this Wednesday's match against Toulouse (9:05 p.m.) in Ligue 1.
A turnaround in the situation, to which the main person concerned returned at a press conference this Tuesday. “ Maybe today, people still believe in what we want to do and in what we are at Stade Rennais. (…) What happened was that at some point it had to stop, but it continued, because people still think that we have the energy to change the current dynamic. »
Placed on probation by the club's leaders, Habib Beye will then have to prove that he is indeed the man for the job in Brittany. In which case his adventure will be cut short more quickly than expected, after nine months spent on the Rennes bench. And to do this, the tactician made two strong choices on the sidelines of this crucial match.
Two executives excluded from the group
Victory obliges, the coach of the Rouge et Noir has chosen to surround himself with men he trusts. As a result, Seko Fofana and Ludovic Blas do not appear in the group which will travel to the Toulouse Stadium. A strong choice, which comes following recent criticisms expressed by the two players towards Habib Beye's tactical decisions. Brice Samba is very present, as is the young midfielder Lucas Rosier, 18, who is making his first appearance with the professional group.
As a response to this sanction, Blas and Fofana published an almost identical photo in an Instagram story, which shows the completely empty Stade Rennais training center.
