Friendly, Stade Rennais 2 - 1 Lorient. Rennes leave Ploërmel with a win in their final pre-season friendly. Dominating heavily, Rennes had many chances but had difficulties in the finishing. A few days before the Europa League starts, a team is shaping up.
For their entrance in the Europa League, Stade Rennes will finally face Georgian club Metallurg Rustavi, which eliminated Pavlodar and qualified for the third qualifying round. The Rennes squad will therefore be soon preparing their trip to Caucasus.
Friendly, Stade rennais 0 - 2 Sochaux. Frédéric Antonetti’s players were severely beaten on Wednesday evening at the Stade de la Route de Lorient, by a team also qualified for this season’s Europa League. The Rennais were far from being transparent during the game however.
Chris Mavinga, 20 years old, arrives from Liverpool to take over at the left back position for Stade Rennais. The U19 European Champion joins Rennes in order to prove he hasn’t “burnt his wings” by moving abroad.
In all likelihood, Chris Mavinga will sign a four year contract with Stade Rennais this Tuesday. A defender trained at Paris Saint-Germain and gone to England very early in his career, he is able to play at various positions. He will be in competition to become the first choice at left back.
Friendly, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Angers. Held to another draw, Rennes are still looking for their first success of the season. Progressively, the squad is taking shape and some individuals are starting to show their ability. A look back at Stade Rennes’ performance, on Saturday in Carnac.
Friendly, Stade rennais 1 - 1 Angers. For their second pre-season friendly, Stade Rennais conceded a second draw, despite dominating the SCO Angers. Showing clumsy in front of the goals, Rennes should have won that game against the Ligue 2 side.
Friendly, Vannes 0 - 0 Stade rennais. After Rennes’ first pre-season friendly, Stade Rennais Online takes a look at Frédéric Antonetti’s squad abilities and players, with a focus on the new recruits.
This Wednesday evening at the Stade de la Rabine, Vannes and Rennes settled for a goalless draw. But the result doesn’t matter. This first friendly game of the pre-season was above all an opportunity for Frédéric Antonetti to gauge his squad.
Friendly, Vannes - Stade rennais, Wednesday 18:30 CET. A month and a half after their last match, the Stade de la Rabine will be hosting the first pre-season game of the 2011-2012 Stade Rennais. Facing the “Rouge et Noir”, a Vannes side freshly relegated to the National.
During this summer break, Stade Rennais Online invite you to discover or re-discover the career in “Rouge et Noir” of a former Stade Rennais player: Breton striker Pierre-Yves André.
Tomorrow, Jonathan Pitroipa should become the first recruit of the summer in Rennes. A lightweight winger, Pierre Dréossi describes him as a player able to « make a mess in any defence » with his pace and his dribbling qualities. He will have to display this potential in Ligue 1 this season.
A month after the final Ligue 1 game week, the 2011-2012 season starts slowly with the return to training at La Piverdière. The beginning of four and a half weeks of preparation before the Stade Rennais starts its season in the Europa League.
Back in Rennes eight years after leaving, Julien Féret is the next name in a list of players who decided to return to Stade Rennes. They were former heroes on their way back, prodigal children seeking redemption or simply players desiring to return to their beloved club: a look back at those players whose departures and returns have written the club’s history.
Julien Féret, a 28 years old attacking midfielder, signed a three years contract at Stade Rennais. The second Rennes recruit comes back without any feel for revenge in his training club, and thinks about the French national team.
Former Caen player Benoît Costil will take over Nicolas Douchez’ role next season. The goalkeeper signed a three year contract with the Stade Rennais this Tuesday. The best player at his position during the last Ligue 2 season, his arrival is part of a massive mix-up in the goalkeepers’ hierarchy.
Trained in the Stade Rennais Academy between 2000 and 2003 but not kept in by the Breton club at the time, Julien Féret has gone a long way since his first time in Rennes. The midfielder from the Cotes d’Armor is now close to the French national team and about to return to the Breton capital, eight years later. A look back at an atypical player journey.
Julien Féret has officially become the first recruit of the Stade Rennais of 2011-2012. The man from the Cotes d’Armor will sign his contract and return to Brittany after undergoing the medical. The transfer fee is estimated to be slightly below the four million euros bar.
Transfers. Invited on RMC this Tuesday afternoon, Pierre Dréossi gave a few elements of information regarding Rennes’s summer transfers, expressing optimism regarding the arrival of Julien Féret and the possible extension of Kader Mangane’s contract.
Equally disconcerting and talented, Jérôme Leroy has left a mark at Stade Rennes in four years during which he delighted the crowds at the Route de Lorient. A player different to the others in his attitude, his skills and his ability to make the whole of his team shine. A virtuoso, who leaves with a legitimate feeling of bitterness towards his former management.
International. At the end of their club season, four Stade Rennes players were force to delay their holidays to join their national team. While Yann M’Vila goes on an Eastern European tour with France, Montaño is waiting to know if he is included in the Colombian squad for the Copa América.
Jérôme Leroy played his final game with the Stade Rennais in Lille. After four seasons, and over a hundred and fifty games with the “Rouge et Noir”, the attacking midfielder hasn’t offered a new contract offer from the club, and will therefore leave Brittany on a free transfer, probably for a final season in professional football.
Ligue 1, Lille 3 - 2 Stade rennais. Beaten by Lille and a hat-trick by Moussa Sow despite scoring first, Rennes finally end up the season in sixth place, overtaken by Sochaux, who went to win in Arles-Avignon. A disappointing result to close a lacklustre season, and which will force Antonetti and his players to start their 2011-2012 season as early as the end of July.
On Sunday, Stade Rennes will try to keep their fifth position in Lille. The newly-crowned French champion is a “good example of what should be done” according to Frédéric Antonetti. But are the Bretons capable of taking inspiration from the Northern team?
Ligue 1, Lille - Stade rennais, Sunday, 21:00 CET. For the final game of the season, Frédéric Antonetti decided to call a squad of 20 players on the road to Lille. Left without Kévin Théophile-Catherine, the Rennes manager might also be forced to do without Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik in defence. Consequently, Dimitri Foulquier, Frank Julienne and Kamal Issah return in the squad.
Interview. After Quentin Rouger, here comes Slimane Sissoko, the fourth player from the 1991 generation to have signed a professional contract at the Stade Rennais. Plagued with injuries during the last season because of recurrent injuries, the young French-Malian player had the joy to receive a one-year professional contract with an additional two years in option. A contract looking like redemption for Sissoko, who know wants to strive within his training club.
Announced last night, Yann M’Vila contract extension for at the Stade Rennais, until 2015, has been officialised by the club this Monday morning. A vote of continuity and faithfulness in the Rennes project from the young international, who will therefore remain in Brittany for at least one more season. Also an opportunity for the club to allow themselves a good financial operation.
Ligue 1, Stade rennais 0 - 2 Nancy. For a last game at home, Stade rennais gave a poor show in front of its crowd by not creating any opportunities during the match. Totally helpless and with no will, Rennes has not been able to take advantage of Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain results to get closer to the podium. By winning tonight, Sochaux is now only one point away from the 5th place. It is time for the season to be over...
Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Nancy, Saturday, 9:00 PM CET After three months recovering, Yacine Brahimi is back in the squad for Ligue 1’s penultimate game week. Kévin Théophile-Catherine isn’t ready yet.
Frédéric Antonetti has had an « exhausting » season managing the Stade Rennais. He was aiming for fifth place with a highly inexperienced squad. Before the home game against Nancy, on Saturday, he looks back at the “main lesson” he learnt this year.
