Benoît Costil
After three seasons in which he affirmed himself as one of the best, if not the best goalkeeper in Ligue 2, Benoît Costil arrives at the Stade Rennais to replace departing Nicolas Douchez. A great prospect at the Stade Malherbe de Caen, the Normand eventually failed to break through at professional level. Therefore, there is a feeling of revenge for Costil, as he joins Brittany in summer 2011, with a strong desire to show his real ability in Ligue 1.
