Senegalese technician Habib Beye will continue his journey with Stade Rennais. Arrived last January to rectify a club then in great difficulty, the coach fulfilled his mission to maintain Ligue 1, thus automatically triggering an extension clause of an additional season. It is now linked to the Breton club until June 2026.
During his pre-match press conference this Friday, May 2, the Senegalese technician raised any ambiguity on the rest of his contract: “The clause is clear. If the club remains in Ligue 1, I benefit from one year of additional contract. It is now official. Habib Beye had taken the reins of the team after a waltz of coaches who had seen Jorge Sampaoli replace Julien Stéphan, without much success. Solid on his supports, the former OM captain was able to impose his paw in a few months. Under his leadership, Rennes won seven wins in Ligue 1, sufficient to maintain even before the last days.
With ten points ahead of the red zone three days from the end, the club is mathematically assured of staying in the elite. A performance that allows Rennes to chain a 32nd consecutive season in Ligue 1, a record in French football, only preceded by PSG and OL. Former coach of the Red Star which he had led from National to Ligue 2, Habib Beye thus confirms his progression in the profession.
