Reports in French media claim that Stade Rennais might relieve Frederic Antonetti of his services at the club and could replace him with Claude Puel for next season
“It would make sense that I leave after my contract at least. But let my bosses be happy with me. I am very much in Rennais where everything is well-oiled,” said Stade Rennais coach Frederic Antonetti a month back, thus showing his desire to stay with the
Bretons.
Yet, all is certainly not rosy for the tactician. Elimination from the Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 at the hands of Quevilly leaves a lot of doubts over Antonetti’s credentials as a person who will end the club’s long-wait for some silverware.
Antonetti has seen his players waste yet another chance to win their first trophy since 1971 which is hardly impressive.
In the aftermath of the shock defeat, Antonetti admitted that the defeat was a big disappointment for him.
“This is a great personal disappointment. I sacrificed my assistants a lot of privacy to get there and in the end, it wasn’t really worth the trouble,” lamented a visibly hurt Antonetti.
Between the humiliation and inability for the club to completely grasp good things coming their way, the club’s leaders might decide to call for a change in the coaching department.
Reports in 10 sport claim that former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 coach, Claude Puel could be the one Rennais would want to take on board in a bid to make the club stronger next season.
Dismissed by Lyon last summer, the former Lille coach is slowly getting back into football and could become Rennais’ next coach.
Above all, Puel has the ideal profile of a person who can build the team from the scratch. Furthermore, Rennais might face the prospect of life without Yann M’Vila next season and Puel could be the best possible coach who can help Rennais become more consistent.
Last season, the Bretons had a great chance to both win the Championelle and qualify for the Champions League. However, they choked in the final furlong and finished the season with just the Europa League to show for their efforts.
