The Pinault era (1998-)

Pinault is not foreign at the Stage, in addition to to have been the principal sponsor of the team since 1994 via Pinault-Spring-Redoute, it was born in the department close to the Coast-with Armor, and is one of the impassioned supporters of a club which it had the ambition to make grandir.
Beyond the financial investments carried out in the sporting sector itself, the contribution of François Pinault will largely contribute to modernize the installations, and in particular the Parc of the sports of the road of Lorient. This last will be renovated platform by platform over one five years duration, making pass its full capacity of 20.000 to nearly 30.000 places.

Season 1998-1999

The changes took place on all the levels at the beginning of season. Pierre Blayau is named president of the Stage of Rennes, while the direction of the team is entrusted to a very young trainer in the person of Paul Le Guen. " Red and Noir" , which had until there the practice of truster the bottom of table, make good figure, in particular thanks to the talent of Shabani Nonda (defector of). The club finishes in a very beautiful 5th place, and is thus qualified for the Coupe Intertoto.

Season 1999-2000

The Stage of Rennes, reinforced by the return to the fold of his/her former child-darling Jocelyn Gourvennec, fails finally of Coupe Intertoto vis-a-vis. After being itself tilted in Italy 2-0, the Of Rennes one carry out a honourable tie in Brittany 2-2, after having opened the score.
Remainder, this match remains the one season quite poor strong moment for the Of Rennes one obliged to fight again for the maintenance until the end, finishing 13th championship, but being run away only at the conclusion of the last day. In spite of this crushing argument, Paul Le Guen succeeded in preserving the confidence of leaders decided to build with him a competitive team on the long run.

Season 2000-2001

To arrive to its dream of a " grand" Stage of Rennes, François Pinault decides to inject large money sums in the transfers, at one time when inflation is gallopping in the matière.
Tested the Bernard Lama thus replaces Christophe Revault left with Toulouse, but the Stage of Rennes spends especially of the insane sums to make come from the supposed South American players extremely promising. To replace Shabani Nonda left with, thus that arrives which will symbolize this period of sumptuous expenditure: the Brazil IEN Severino Lucas, recruited for the moderate amount of 21 million euros…
In spite of one difficult wintry time, where Paul Le Guen saves her head of accuracy, the Stage is rectified in spring, and fails the doors of Europe, the 6th place of the championship, and is found again qualified for the Coupe Intertoto.

Season 2001-2002

Paul Le Guen finally thorough towards the exit, a new orientation is given to the team. François Pinault places Rene Ruello at the presidency of the club, and a trainer of character, Christian Gourcuff, with the head of the team. This last, which has just made go up for the second time of its history in Ligue 1 is charged to give an identity of play at the Stage of Rennes. It is already well-known with the club to have played there in the years 1970, with a victory in Coupe Gambardella with the key in 1973.
At the dawn of this springtide, which marks the centenary of the club, the team must give itself the means of succeeding, but without the financial support of Pinault, disappointed by the made use of her money the former season on the market of the transferts.
The beginning of the season is disappointing. Eliminated from Cut Intertoto by, the Stage of Rennes is made humiliate in residence by at the time of the 1st day of championship, 5 goals with 0. Symbol of this catastrophic departure, the young guard titular Fabien Debec promoted, must leave its place to tried out Eric Durand. Made tops and of bottom, the season will be morose, between fight for the maintenance and soft belly of the championship. Under the fire of criticism, Christian Gourcuff sorrow to impose its style, and is found in conflict with certain players. He will be thanked at the conclusion of the last journée.
Only sun rays, a semi-final in Cut of the League, and especially, a beautiful festival of the centenary, which will be the occasion to re-examine on the ground some old glories of the club, and to see the Stage of Rennes beating at the time of a match of official reception the Équipe of Senegal, future quarter of finalist of the Mondial 2002.

Season 2002-2003

New upheaval within the club. Emmanuel Cueff is named president, Pierre Dréossi to manage general, and Philippe Bergeroo entraîneur.
The club however launches out in its usual and catastrophic recruitment campaign by again engaging two unknown South-Americans, Andrés Fleurquin and Gabriel Loeschbor, but also the Bulgarian attacker Georgi Ivanov, passed since with the posterity in the collective memory of Rennes by symbolizing the ineffective and useless player par excellence. Fortunately, and since is needed well that an exception exists, is recruited this summer the goalkeeper Petr Čech who will assert himself like one of more great successes of the cell of recruitment rennaise.
Curiously, the Stage of Rennes succeeds in beginning its season with results even more catastrophic than those from the former season, and Philippe Bergeroo is dismissed after only ten meetings (for seven defeats and only one victory). Authoritative the Vahid Halilhodžić is then named with the head of the " Reds and Noirs". The Bosnian will then stick to solidify the defensive bases of the team, but will also make a success of with traumatiser durably a good part of its players, with the image of Lamine Diatta and Anthony Réveillère, sanctioned to have misused the video games at the time of a déplacement.
Finally, the team succeeds in running away itself almost quietly within sight of her beginning of the season, and arrives even in semi-final of Coupe de France. The winter period of transfers is especially the occasion to see arriving in Brittany some players interesting, of which Cyril Jeunechamp and Alexander Frei.
One retains also this season the emergence of a promising young generation, taken along by Etienne Didot, Jacques Faty, Grégory Bourillon and Stephan Nguéma. The 18 years of Rennes are essential indeed in Coupe Gambardella, beating finally the 4 goals with 1. With fair promisess such as Jimmy Briand or Yoann Gourcuff, the future announces meilleur.
He announces himself in any case without Vahid Halilhodžić, started from his liking to involve it.

Season 2003-2004

For what is announced as the season of the last chance Laszlo Bölöni is named at the post of trainer. Known for its profile of trainer, it is charged to sit the club on strong foundations, and to incorporate in it the young person and talented " Gambardella" generation; , with the objective of a made up manpower with 50% players resulting from the training center.
While waiting, Bölöni attempts to consolidate the defense, which boxes from now on few goals, but forsakes the offensive sector, which pains then. Emergence during the winter of a Alexander Frei left with the wall cupboard during its first months in Brittany, and especially the recruitment at the end of December of a young medium ground Swedish named Kim Källström will give again peps with the attack rennaise.
Bölöni chooses this moment for launching in the great bath the " classify biberon" , and of many young people players make their great professional beginnings, with the image of Yoann Gourcuff, then only 17 years old. The Stage of Rennes finishes its season in waterspout in a good 8th place, in the wake of a Frei author of 18 achievements, including 4 with only the Fabien Barthez at the time of memorable Stade of Rennes - (4-3).
Like a symbol, it is at the same time that renovation works of the stage are completed finally, the Équipe of France offering its festival of inauguration to him, at the time of a friendly meeting vis-a-vis the Bosnia-Herzégovine, the August 15th 2004 (1-1).

Season 2004-2005

In spite of the departure of its guard Petr Čech with, the Stage must confirm, and - first since four years - preserves the same trainer, proof of a stability retrouvée.
If the season is correct, the club does not succeed in being extracted from the soft belly of the championship during long months, incompetent to outside obtain good performances. Failing this, the Stage of Rennes levels its public with the Stade of the Road of Lorient, with a duet of attack Monterrubio - Frei of a rare effectiveness (the two players will be respectively crowned " better passeur" and " better buteur" championship), supported well by players like Källström, Maoulida or Sorlin.
The catch outside at the beginning of April takes place finally, with a victory with the Stadium of Toulouse, followed of another to. In a very tight championship, that is enough with Of Rennes to be propelled very close to the European places. An objective achieved at the conclusion of the penultimate day, with the favor of one crushing victory in residence vis-a-vis (4-0) which brings the " Red and Noir" in the 4th place of the classification. The dream is with range of hands, and shapes with the Parc of the Princes one week later, in spite of the defeat vis-a-vis (0-1). At the conclusion of one evening to the incredible scenario, Marseilles and Saint-Etienne, close to dislodging the Of Rennes one of their European place, breaks finally the teeth on their adversaries of the evening respectifs.
For the first time of its history, the Stage of Rennes is qualified for the Coupe of the UEFA via the championship!

Season 2005-2006

Once again obliged to confirm, the Stage of Rennes must recruit consequently, and engages in particular the attacker Nigerian John Utaka coming from, and the offensive medium Moroccan of the Youssouf Hadji. It can also count on the assertion growing of certain young people, in particular Jimmy Briand, Yoann Gourcuff, Stephan Mbia or the guard Simon Pouplin.
However, the beginning of the season is catastrophic with wish, and the defensive lacks of the team are cruelly proposed by three humiliating reverse vis-a-vis the rival Nantes (0-3), promoted manceau (0-4) and especially at to the young team of (0-6). Certain recruits, the such young person Suisse Alain Rochat are shown finger. At the end of the summer, the team finally manages to seize again itself, and approaches the Coupe of the UEFA in a better frame of mind. " Red and Noir" even their entry by eliminating the Basque solids from, grace in particular to a great victory in residence (3-1) make a success of.
The continuation will be definitely less glorious, with four defeats in as much of matches at the time of the hen phase, vis-a-vis (0-2), with (0-2), with (0-1) and with (1-5). The continuation of the season is announced morose, especially in the middle one January which sees them to incline five times of continuation in championship, hardly brightened by a historical victory acquired with the Stade of Beaujoire vis-a-vis (2-0), large rival in front of the eternal, for a first since 43 ans.
The Stage of Rennes flirte then with the zone of relegation, but will be started again at the cost of an incredible series of victories. The recruitment of the solid Ghanaian defender John Mensah and the return in form of the striker John Utaka (author of two triplets at the time of two matches consecutive, vis-a-vis and with!), associated with the advent of the young person Gourcuff will allow the Breton club to carry out a sensational increase with the classification after having connected ten victories of continuation all competitions confondues.
Qualified for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France and third with the classification at four days of the end, the Stage of Rennes however will collapse. Eliminated with the Cycle-racing track by (0-3) out of cut, the Of Rennes one will concede a defeat and three matches null consecutive which will deprive them this time of a European qualification. A outcome with the bitter taste at the time of the last day, when that it, however carried out 2-0 after one doubled in the form of good-bye of Alexander Frei, succeeds in remaking its handicap in the last fifteen minutes to take down its place in Ligue of the Champions.
No one with the relents of defeat which seals the future of Laszlo Bölöni with the head of the team. Disputed, this last chooses to start from itself, and signs with.

Season 2006-2007

With the general surprise, and whereas Raynald Denoueix was had a presentiment of for the station, the general manager Pierre Dréossi is named at a new station in France, cumulating its old functions and those of trainer of the occupational class. It must initially manage the departures, which are of size. Alexander Frei, Kim Källström and Yoann Gourcuff packs their bags, and the names of their substitutes (Daniel Moreira and Bruno Cheyrou in particular) does not raise the general enthusiasm on the side of the supporters. Only the side right Dutch Mario Melchiot will find quickly thanks to their yeux.
Like the former season, the beginning of the season is chaotic, and it is necessary to wait the 5th day to witness a victory of Rennes. The winter seems to confirm that it is indeed a season of transition, the more so as the Stage of Rennes must undergo two humiliating eliminations in residence in the two national cuts, vis-a-vis in Coupe of the League (0-1) and vis-a-vis in Coupe de France (1-3 ap). To crown the whole, Emmanuel Cueff, the president of the club, in cold with François Pinault, is replaced by Frederic de Saint-Sernin in December, and the mercato of winter is particularly badly lived by part of the supporters which sees one of its favorite players, Olivier Monterrubio to leave to, replaced by Olivier Thomert.
However, the Stage of Rennes again will reappear at the exit of the winter. Sensitive to the cold offensively until there, the team of Pierre Dréossi finally will find good carburation while being pressed on the duet Briand - Utaka. And like the former season, it will connect an impressive series of invincibility which propels it at the good moment at the top of the classification. In the morning of the last day, all is still possible. A goal of John Utaka vis-a-vis, combined with a series of positive tests in the other meetings virtually sends even the Of Rennes one in Ligue of the Champions. It was without counting on a goal of the Inhabitant of Lille Nicolas Fauvergue who equalized in the very last seconds, of the head on blow-franc. In same time, dominated it them over the score of 3 goals to 1 and took down the 3rd so much coveted place. An all the more cruel scenario for the Of Rennes one that it is consecutive with a scandalous Toulouse victory over green carpet against at the time of the previous day. Whereas the score was of 0-0 at a few minutes of the final whistle, part of the Nantes supporters peacefully invaded the lawn to show its dissatisfaction as for management with their club. In spite of a return to a state of calm, in spite of the return of good conditions of safety, the match will be stopped, and the victory given to, against any logic of Fair-play.
In a strong feeling of injustice, the Stage of Rennes however reached a beautiful 4th place, and a new qualification for the Coupe of the UEFA.

Season 2007-2008

The Stage of Rennes which lost Mario Melchiot, John Utaka, Jacques Faty but also Grégory Bourillon and recovered Rod Fanni, Mickaël Pagis, Petter Hansson, Jerome Leroy, Emerson as well as the return of the child of the club Sylvain Wiltord, is on the point of living a great punctuated season of the European tournaments. The recruitment of the season 2007-2008 thus was of size to bring experiment to this young group for the great expiries which await the club with the current of the year.
