Stade Rennais have appointed Julien Stephan as manager to replace Bruno Genesio who stepped down for personal reasons, the Ligue 1 club said on Sunday. The 57-year-old Genesio has been Rennes manager since 2021 when he took over from Stephan, who returns to the club which he steered to their first-ever Champions League qualification in 2020.
“Bruno Genesio is stepping down as head coach of Stade Rennais F.C., he will be replaced by Julien Stephan,” the club said in a statement. By mutual agreement with Stade Rennais FC, and for personal reasons, Bruno Genesio is stepping down as head coach.
Rennes are currently 13th in Ligue 1 with 12 points from 12 games, with just two wins this season. They host Reims in their next game next Sunday.
