• Bruno Genesio has signed up for two more seasons with Stade Rennais.

  • After the departure of Nayef Aguerd and the injury of Warmed Omari, the Breton club will quickly have to reconstitute a central hinge.

  • Stade Rennais is also looking to recruit an experienced goalkeeper to replace Alfred Gomis, pushed out.

“I will perhaps have my Breton passport if things go well by the end of the season”.

As he took stock of his first year on the Stade Rennais bench in March, Bruno Genesio already hinted at his desire to extend the adventure in Brittany.

It is now done for the coach, who has just extended his contract for two more seasons with the Breton club, with whom he is now linked until 2025.

"All the conditions are met for me to feel good about my job," he reacted on Friday.

We are in a sporting project which is ambitious with a club which develops from year to year but also a human project which corresponds to me perfectly ”.

For his first press conference of the season, Bruno Genesio was of course asked about the Rennes transfer window.

A sluggish transfer window for the moment for the Breton club, which has still not registered the slightest reinforcement.

“But that doesn't worry me too much because the market is quite calm everywhere,” assured the Breton coach.

The Samuel Umtiti track in central defense

The needs have in any case been identified, and "three to five recruits" should land this summer.

The priority is of course in defense, and in particular in the central hinge.

After the departure of Nayef Aguerd, who signed up for 35 million euros with West Ham, and the injury of Warmed Omari, who will be absent for three months, the need to recruit two centrals is indeed pressing.

A track leads to Samuel Umtiti with whom contacts would have been established.

A player that Bruno Genesio knows perfectly.

"I had him in training and in the pro team in Lyon, it creates links," said the coach, not insensitive to the idea of ​​​​finding the Barcelona defender who "remains a very high level player".

In recent days, the names of Kim Min-Jae, a South Korean defender playing at Fenerbahçe, or Abdou Diallo, of PSG, have also been mentioned.

Alfred Gomis pushed out

Behind this central hinge, Stade Rennais will also have to work to find a new goalkeeper.

Arriving in Rennes in the summer of 2020 from Dijon, Alfred Gomis is no longer part of the plans of the Rennes leaders.

“His season was not catastrophic, underlined Bruno Genesio.

But she should have been better.

»

To replace him, Rennes is looking for an experienced goalkeeper.

"It's essential, especially since our central hinge will be completely renewed," said Bruno Genesio.

Several names are mentioned in this position, such as Steve Mandanda, the Swiss international Yann Sommer (Borussia Mönchengladbach), or the Uruguayan Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray).
