New storm warning for Brittany. So successful last season, Stade Rennais is unrecognizable and has continued to take on water in recent weeks. On the front line, Bruno Genesio (57 years old) should not stay long on the banks of the Vilaine, where he is under contract until June 2025.
The trend was rather towards calm in recent hours, while the management of the 13th club in Ligue 1 seemed to have maintained its confidence in Genesio, at the helm of the Breton boat for two and a half years. But it is the coach himself who could ultimately decide to leave, advances The Team, highlighting a possible split with its president Olivier Cloarec and his sports director Florian Maurice. The two leaders would blame the blow.
Movement expected this Monday
The contours and modalities of this end of adventure have not yet been completely decided, assures his side West France. The fact remains that this turnaround in the situation is all the more surprising given that, if Rennes remains on a poor dynamic in the Championship (no victory in the last six days, including a final setback against the red lantern Lyon), the top 6 is only ‘four points behind Genesio’s men. They are also first in their Europa League group.
The situation, complicated, is not desperate. And Stade Rennes is counting a lot on the reception of Reims after the international break (November 26) to restart the machine. This could be done without the former Lyon coach, since his departure should be confirmed on Monday. The name of his replacement, which had already emerged, leaves little doubt: free since the end of his adventure in Strasbourg, Julien Stéphan should recover the reins of the club, which he had left in March 2021 to… Genesio.
