2011-2012 Season

Tomorrow, Jonathan Pitroipa should become the first recruit of the summer in Rennes. A lightweight winger, Pierre Dréossi describes him as a player able to « make a mess in any defence » with his pace and his dribbling qualities. He will have to display this potential in Ligue 1 this season.

A month after the final Ligue 1 game week, the 2011-2012 season starts slowly with the return to training at La Piverdière. The beginning of four and a half weeks of preparation before the Stade Rennais starts its season in the Europa League.

Back in Rennes eight years after leaving, Julien Féret is the next name in a list of players who decided to return to Stade Rennes. They were former heroes on their way back, prodigal children seeking redemption or simply players desiring to return to their beloved club: a look back at those players whose departures and returns have written the club’s history.

Julien Féret, a 28 years old attacking midfielder, signed a three years contract at Stade Rennais. The second Rennes recruit comes back without any feel for revenge in his training club, and thinks about the French national team.
