Rennes: Habib Beye sacked
After another defeat at Lens, Stade Rennais has decided to part ways with its coach Habib Beye. A dismissal that marks the failure of a transition and illustrates the deep sporting instability undermining the Breton club’s project, still in search of a durable foundation.
Stade Rennais has decided to part ways with Habib Beye after another worrying defeat on Lens’ pitch, a symbol of a sporting crisis that is bogging down. Arrived to revive a project already fragile, the Senegalese coach never managed to restore the situation sustainably, despite the initial patience shown by management. The underwhelming results, defensive fragility, and the impression of a group losing confidence gradually sealed his fate.
Sporting-wise, Rennes is going through a dark spell, marked by a string of defeats and a defense in big trouble, having conceded ten goals in the last three matches. The defeat at Lens, while Rennes were leading at halftime and enjoying a numerical advantage, acted as a trigger. The Coupe de France elimination against Olympique de Marseille had already reinforced the internal sense of failure.
Behind the scenes, several strong decisions have fueled tensions, notably the sidelining of goalkeeper Brice Samba for disciplinary reasons. Some players’ remarks have hinted at a persistent malaise, despite the outward display of unity. This departure confirms the chronic instability of the Rennes bench, which is set to welcome a fourth coach in less than two years. The management is now working on appointing a new technician capable of reviving a sporting project that has lost coherence, with Franck Haise tipped to embody this new cycle.
