According to French media outlet footmercato.
Rennes
The club are considering a managerial change and former AC Milan boss Stefano
Pioli
Seen as a favorite.
Current manager Julian Stephen returned to Rennes last November, but his record with the team has not been unanimously recognized. In his last 31 games, Stephen has won 15, drawn 5 and lost 11, and some of his players have taken issue with his tactics. In a warm-up match this week, Rennes lost 0-3 to Gambon, after which Stephane directly accused the players of having attitude problems, which further aggravated the internal conflicts.
The new director of Rennes, Mr. Massara, has already started to consider a change of manager, and he admires the former AC Milan boss, Mr. Pioli, who had a good working experience with him in Milan. In addition, Pioli's agent Gabriele Giufrida has also been deeply involved in Rennes' recruitment work this summer.
According to footmercato, Rennes have invested a lot in last season but failed to do well, leaving little time for Stephane. If the club decides to change the manager, Pioli will be the number one choice. Pioli, who led AC Milan to the Serie A title, is expected to inject new energy and tactical ideas into Rennes.
The management of Rennes is currently evaluating Stephane's performance and the future direction of the team and is expected to make a final decision in the coming weeks. Fans will be keeping a close eye on this development in the hope that the club will be able to achieve better results in the new season.
