Habib Beye is fixed. On Wednesday, Rennes again let slip two points against Toulouse (2-2), while leading 2-0. A new disillusionment for the Breton club, now on a series of six matches without a victory (six draws in ten days). Despite the growing pressure, management has chosen to maintain its confidence in Habib Beye.
President Arnaud Pouille confirmed it in the locker room after the match, putting an end to speculation: “Have we decided to maintain it? Yes, we just told the group. We need results and progress. » At the microphone of League 1+he added: “The club is going through a difficult period, the accounting situation is fragile, but the staff has shown that it still has the necessary energy. We are getting caught up, but there have been good things. »
Habib Beye took note of this confirmation. “The deadline is Strasbourg (Sunday, at 3 p.m.). We will prepare for Strasbourg with the energy that we have shown all week. A pretty crazy week in terms of everything we’re going through. That’s what a coach must experience. The president spoke to the players, it was a very positive message, he saw the level of the team this evening”he declared for his part.
Fofana, a choice linked to “dynamics”
The Senegalese coach has also accepted his strong choice to exclude Ludovic Blas and Seko Fofana for the trip to Toulouse. “It’s a choice linked to the dynamic of the group and what we experience every day in training. When you are not 100% in training and not in the group’s state of mind, choices are made”he explained.
Currently 10th in Ligue 1, seven points from the top 4 and three from the red zone, Rennes must get back on track on Sunday against Strasbourg. A match during which Habib Beye will strongly stake his future.
