In the Pinault era, László Bölöni will remain as one of the managers who truly contributed to help Stade Rennais FC evolve at the middle of the 2000s.

Taciturn in appearance but a friendly manager in private, Bölöni returns to the Stade de la Route de Lorient for the second time since his departure in June 2006. And he returns as a hero.
