At a time not so long ago, this was not a problem. When a president maintained his confidence in a coach, we had to understand the opposite. The coach did not last long. Is Habib Beye finding himself in this paradoxical situation today? Maybe.
Despite another poor performance this season from his team, recorded in the middle of the week in Toulouse after leading 2-0 (2-2, 10th day of Ligue 1), the Stade Rennais coach remains in post. This is what the president of the Breton club, Arnaud Pouille, said in front of the Ligue 1+ cameras.
But the leader described a problematic context: “The club has been in a dynamic that has not been good for a while, our accounting situation is relatively fragile compared to our objectives, and that puts pressure“, confided Arnaud Pouille on Wednesday evening.
Strasbourg wants to take advantage of the malaise
But what would happen if Strasbourg, the club where Habib Beye played between 1998 and 2003, froze the audience at Roazhon Park on Sunday? It has escaped no one’s notice that the Alsatian team has podium ambitions, following a very promising last season.
Liam Rosenior’s men will play their cards to the limit to take advantage of the current fragility of the Bretons, without a victory since September 14. The Racing club of Strasbourg, fourth in the ranking before the weekend, thanks to a success over Auxerre obtained on Wednesday (3-0), has the weapons to win in Rennes. And in this case keep Habib Beye in great difficulty. To the point of making him disembark?
