Stuck at the bottom of the table, the Stade Rennais relied on Jorge Sampaoli to try to redress the situation. A risky choice with a strong temperament. It remains to be seen whether this marriage between fire and ice will work in the months to come.
In the meantime, Sampaoli is ready to make strong decisions to get Stade Rennais out of this tunnel. The Breton club could be very active during the next transfer window, in January. But Sampaoli must also decide for the goalkeeper position.
Mandanda, the strong words of Sampaoli
Nobody has forgotten that Jorge Sampaoli wanted to create competition by recruiting Pau Lopez at Olympique de Marseille, relegating legend Steve Mandanda to the bench. Despite his experience, the 39-year-old goalkeeper has not been flawless since the start of the season.
Steve Mandanda’s understudy, Gauthier Gallon, however, does not seem able to worry the 2018 world champion. I have a very good relationship with Steve, I love him very much. We have always had a very direct relationship. I am happy to find him here and he will help us get out of this situation“, launched the Rennes coach.
