On Sunday, Stade Rennes will try to keep their fifth position in Lille. The newly-crowned French champion is a “good example of what should be done” according to Frédéric Antonetti. But are the Bretons capable of taking inspiration from the Northern team?

Ligue 1, Lille - Stade rennais, Sunday, 21:00 CET. For the final game of the season, Frédéric Antonetti decided to call a squad of 20 players on the road to Lille. Left without Kévin Théophile-Catherine, the Rennes manager might also be forced to do without Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik in defence. Consequently, Dimitri Foulquier, Frank Julienne and Kamal Issah return in the squad.

Interview. After Quentin Rouger, here comes Slimane Sissoko, the fourth player from the 1991 generation to have signed a professional contract at the Stade Rennais. Plagued with injuries during the last season because of recurrent injuries, the young French-Malian player had the joy to receive a one-year professional contract with an additional two years in option. A contract looking like redemption for Sissoko, who know wants to strive within his training club.

Announced last night, Yann M’Vila contract extension for at the Stade Rennais, until 2015, has been officialised by the club this Monday morning. A vote of continuity and faithfulness in the Rennes project from the young international, who will therefore remain in Brittany for at least one more season. Also an opportunity for the club to allow themselves a good financial operation.

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 0 - 2 Nancy. For a last game at home, Stade rennais gave a poor show in front of its crowd by not creating any opportunities during the match. Totally helpless and with no will, Rennes has not been able to take advantage of Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain results to get closer to the podium. By winning tonight, Sochaux is now only one point away from the 5th place. It is time for the season to be over...

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Nancy, Saturday, 9:00 PM CET After three months recovering, Yacine Brahimi is back in the squad for Ligue 1’s penultimate game week. Kévin Théophile-Catherine isn’t ready yet.

Frédéric Antonetti has had an « exhausting » season managing the Stade Rennais. He was aiming for fifth place with a highly inexperienced squad. Before the home game against Nancy, on Saturday, he looks back at the “main lesson” he learnt this year.

Ligue 1, Saint-Étienne 1 - 2 Stade Rennais. Finally! By winning at Geoffroy-Guichard thanks to goals by Montaño and Leroy, Rennes has brought a run of nine winless games to and end and nearly guaranteed a Europa League spot for next season. A result lived as a huge relief for the Rennais.

Ligue 1, Saint-Étienne - Stade rennais, Sunday 17:00 CET. Before a particularly important trip to the Forez, Frédéric Antonetti won’t enjoy any return, and is even forced to deal with the forfeits of Tettey and Doumbia. As a result, youngsters are (once again) called to the rescue.

It’ time for general mobilisation at the Stade Rennais, before Sunday’s trip to Saint- Étienne. Since the defeat in Valenciennes, Frédéric Antonetti has observed a change of attitude inside his squad, to avoid a “complete waste”.
