This announced departure had not left Jean-Michel Aulas indifferent. "I raised him, loved him and he turns his back on us on the second day of confinement when a fortnight before he denied the information," said the President of Lyon in the columns of the newspaper Le ProgrĂšs last month. This cannot but hurt. [âŠ] For him, I had imagined Paris, Barcelona or other. It's Rennes. It will be hoped for him that Rennes will become a very large club. "
The former OL, PSG and OM striker will take office on July 3 at the latest. It is he who will oversee the Rennes summer transfer window. He will notably have to manage the files Niang - very requested and interested for a departure for OM - and Hamari Traoré, awaiting an extension.
After the departure of Olivier Létang in February, Rennes, qualified for the preliminary round of the Champions League, now has three young men with strategic functions: President Nicolas Holveck, 48, coach Julien Stéphan, 39, and Maurice, 46 years old.
