Is it too ambitious? Rennes considers hiring former Bayern manager

In recent seasons, Rennes has been a consistent force in Ligue 1, often ranking in the top five and regularly appearing in European competitions. However, this season, the team finds itself struggling closer to the relegation zone, prompting the club to consider significant changes.

Details: According to L’Equipe, following a humiliating 0-4 defeat against Auxerre, Rennes is considering the dismissal of current head coach Julien Stéphan.

The club reportedly has some high-profile candidates in mind to replace him. The list includes former Roma manager Rudi Garcia, ex-Bayern and Monaco coach Niko Kovač, and Patrick Vieira, who last managed Strasbourg.

Reminder: Rennes currently sits in 13th place in the Ligue 1 standings, only two points above the relegation zone.
