Beye Appointed Rennes Head Coach Following Sampaoli Sacking

Stade Rennais has appointed former Senegal international Habib Beye as their new head coach following the dismissal of Jorge Sampaoli, who left the club after a disappointing run of seven losses in ten games. Beye, who has a decorated playing career with stints at clubs like Marseille and Newcastle, previously coached Red Star FC, leading them to promotion to Ligue 2. The club is currently struggling in 16th place in Ligue 1 and is hopeful that Beye can rejuvenate the team's performance. Beye's appointment is effective immediately, and he has a contract until the end of the season, with an option for an extension. The club expressed confidence in Beye's ability to exploit the full potential of the squad. His first task will be to recreate a positive sporting dynamic within the team.
