Overview
- After a Monday meeting with president Arnaud Pouille, Habib Beye kept his post and will lead Rennes at Toulouse on Wednesday, despite conflicting reports a day earlier that he had been dismissed.
- Rennes are winless in five after a 2-1 home loss to Nice, with Opta noting their longest drought since late 2023, and they sit 10th with a narrow cushion over the relegation playoff place.
- Beye acknowledged he had to fight to stay and says club leadership, including the Pinault family, backed him, vowing he will not step down.
- Foot Mercato reports that the board assessed alternatives such as Philippe Clément, but no change was finalized and Beye was retained on a short leash.
- The coach says a win at Toulouse is imperative even if he rejects the term ultimatum, highlighting the hosts’ intensity and set‑piece threat as key challenges.
