Former Milan director lines Pioli up for Stade Rennais job | OneFootball

Stefano Pioli could reunite with former Milan director of sport Frederic Massara in Ligue 1 at Stade Rennais, according to reports in France.

The coach is currently out of work following the end of his nearly five-year reign at San Siro, where he won the Scudetto.

He had been on the verge of a move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad only for that to fall apart at the last minute.

Pioli future could be in France

Now Footmercato suggest that the 58-year-old is being lined up for a potential job in Ligue 1 with Rennes.

This is because Julien Stephan has not convinced the club chiefs and could be sacked even before the season kicks off in France.

Massara only took on the Stade Rennais job last month and is ready to make some big changes, which could include a reunion with Pioli.

He was in charge of Milan from 2019 to June 2023, when he departed just days after colleague Paolo Maldini was sacked.
